Antigone - competing values

During our discussion of the opening dialogue of Antigone I asked you to identify two things:

  • Reasons Antigone gives for her decision (to bury Polyneices, against the ruling of Creon)
  • Reasons provided by Ismene, or Antigone herself, for why she should not
We titled this "competing values."

We will keep an eye on how this plays out, affecting both her and those around her.
