prologue to the final scene, the play hinges on her acts of defiance or heroism. In
the beginning of the play, Antigone is basically the ugly sister in regards to Ismene.
Antigone is kind of grossly described to be honest. She’s small, scrawny, and
practically a spoiled little girl. Antigone makes choices for herself without any real
regards to advice or others opinion. So all in all I would say she makes pretty
unjust choices. Of course in her time period, women's choices were always unused

defend and no body to defy. Then of course she died and became a nobody
character obviously.
Antigone herself made quite a statement in the storyline though, she was a
small little girl, who ends up defying the governing laws and upsetting the balance
of things. That’s quite an uproar. She actually ends up and loses everything due to
her small act of defiance. Her family, pride, and sense of whatever confidence she
had, were all put at stake due to her want for more. Her desire. Yet her desire and
defiance turns into genuine gratitude by the end. She has the same mindset as
before, yet she just realized maybe it wasn’t as bad and learns to appreciate the
fact that she still had everything. But in the end, she has nothing. Which is why I
believe she ends up dying is to show, she found the true meaning yet has no reset
button that can let her fix things. No repeat and can’t replace what she’s done.
