Antigone...

I do agree with Hegel's interpretation because both Creon and Antigone, in their own way, are right. In the play, they both stay true to what they believe and do not back down. As king, Creon is obligated to stay true to his word. He cannot just create rules and not enforce them. If he did that, then no one would take him seriously as a king. He also has unlimited power, so he is able to do anything he desires. Creon's choices and actions are right, but so are Antigone's. As a sister, Antigone has every right to give her brother a proper burial. She believes that family comes first. Antigone risks her life to give her brother the proper burial that she believes he deserves. She, as a sister, has every right to do what she did. Both Creon and Antigone are right because what they both did was morally correct. I believe that Hegel's interpretation is completely true.
