Proper Burial-
Antigone is about a girl who all she wants to do is to give her brother a proper burial like her other brother. She doesn't care that one brother was on the good side and the other one was on the bad side. He is her brother and he can never be replaced. She knows that death could come her way if she were to do it, but she doesn't care. She will take all the risks that will come out of it. After she does it and gets caught she realizes that she will die. But before Ceron, her uncle, the king, can come back and tell her that she won't be hang she has already hung herself in pride. She wants to honor her brother and do what she thinks is right.
Loyalty-
Antigone is loyal to her brother. Because he won't get a proper burial she goes against the law and fights for him. She does what she thinks is right even though she could get killed for it. Also there is loyal to Antigone and Teireias. He sticks up for her when Ceron tells him that he will die. He knows that it is wrong and he love her so. And after seeing her dying he too kills himself.
Intergiry-
This isn't one of the themes that we discussed, but it was on my test so i decieded to use it because I like it.
Odepius has great intergiry because he doesn't back down from his word after he finds out that he is the killer of the previous king. He takes it like a man and does what he said he would do. He goes away even though he could have easily write his word off and say that he didn't have to do it because he was the king. Creon had bad intergity because he didn't live up to his word. He said that anyone that buried Antigone's brother would be killed. At first you see him sticking to his word. But after him and his son, Teireias, talk he realizes that he could lose his son too and he doesn't want that. He decideds to change his mind, but it is too late. Antigone has died, Teireias has dies, and so has his mother. He lost everyone. Antigone has extreme intergity. She knew from the start what could happen to her if she gave her brother a proper burial. She didn't care. She was going to honor both of her brothers to the full extent. She knew she would die, but she didn't care. She had to much pride to let someone kill her so she did it herself.
