he Plot of Eragon is that Galbatorix wanted to kill Eragon because he was the dragon rider. Eragon

Antigone takes place just after a war between Antigone’s two brothers, Eteocles and Polynices. Eteocles fought on the side of Thebes whereas Polynices resembled an invader. Afterwards, Eteocles is buried and seen as honorable. However, Polynices is denied a proper burial because he is considered a traitor to Thebes. In this play, Sophocles uses Antigone and Creon as foils by characterizing Antigone as a martyr and Creon as a tyrant to urge the reader to realize that one’s own morals are more significant than the decrees of any government.

Getting caught burying her brother led to Antigone being brought in to face Kreon, the establisher of the immoral decree,

In Antigone there were some difficult choices that were made. One of them was deciding to bury Polyneices when Creon said not to bury him. But the God’s laws believe that the people’s body should be buried so their souls wouldn't linger the city. King Creon refused to have Polyneices buried, and Antigone sees otherwise. So Antigone takes it upon herself and put a little dirt on his body and Creon didn't like that. Creon asks who put the dirt on the body and he finds out that Antigone done it. Then Antigone tried to get her sister to help her bury him but she didn't want to disobey Uncle King Creon's laws,so she didn't help Antigone.In the ending of the story Antigone ends up killing herself.

Antigone finds out they are going to send her to a place (the hole) to starve to death, she couldn’t die that way. So she decided if she’s going to die then, why not die quick, so she hanged

This play is ultimately concerned with one person defying another person and paying the price. Antigone went against the law of the land, set by the newly crowned King Creon. Antigone was passionate about doing right by her brother and burying him according to her religious beliefs even though Creon deemed him a traitor and ordered him to be left for the animals to devour. Creon was passionate about being king and making his mark from his new throne. Although they differed in their views, the passion Creon and Antigone shared for those opinions was the same, they were equally passionate about their opposing views. Creon would have found it very difficult to see that he had anything in common with Antigone however as he appears to be

It was soon discovered what Antigone had done. Creon her to be executed and was imprisoned in a cave. Her fiancé, Haemon, son of Creon, begged his father to let her go. He finally agreed but he was too late, Antigone had hanged herself. Haemon was devastated that his love was dead, so he committed suicide. At the news, Creon's wife and Haemon’s mother, queen Eurydice, commits suicide fulfilling Creon’s fate of being responsible for his family’s death. Antigone lines 1335-1336 “From suffering that has been/ Decreed no man will ever find escape”.

Antigone answers by saying; she believed Zeus was not the one who proclaimed these orders. She was not fearful of one man, but she was fearful of the gods and disobeying the law of the gods was much worse than disobeying one man. Kreon has no pity on her and orders her to death. The son of Kreon, Haimon, is also the fiancé of Antigone. Haimon hears the news of his future wife to be put to death. Haimon is not angry with his father; he says marriage is not more important than his father's good leadership. Kreon then reassures his son of the verdict "No: I will kill her (Line 799). Haimon goes on to tell his father what the citizens say about this decision. Haimon tells his father that the people of Thebes believe that Antigone's fate should not be death but glory. They feel that burying her slain brother is a very noble deed. Haimon pleads with his father to listen to the people for once, "But it's no shame for even a wise man to learn and to relent" (Line 861). He continues to tell Kreon that he is not saying these things for his fiancé's sake, but for his sake because he is dishonoring the gods. Kreon is now also upset with his son and calls on Antigone to come forth and be throne in the dungeon where she will stay until death. After he sends Antigone to death, Teiresias arrives. Teiresias, the prophet, sees that Kreon's city is in turmoil and it is because of his principles. Kreon forces Teiresias to tell him his

‘’Antigone is a story about Antigone, a woman who suffers the dead of her parents and brothers. The story focuses on her seeking proper burial for one of her dead brothers who fought against his own city. Creon the king, honors one of the dead brothers for fighting for his city and declares death to any who dares give burial rites to the brother who opposed the city. “As for Polyneices, who perished so miserably, an order has gone

Antigone’s motivation is love for her family- she puts it above all else. In fact, she is willing to sacrifice her life to defend that love. Antigone goes to great lengths to bury her deceased brother, who according to an edict issued by King Creon, died in dishonor, consequently making it illegal for anyone to bury his body. Through her actions to comply with her motivations, it is revealed that Antigone’s actions are also fueled by her strong beliefs that, first, the gods’ laws

Antigone realizes she can hear the voice of death; she suffers in wonders “What law of the mighty gods have I transgressed?” (106); she now feels she is left alone and claims “I alone, see what I suffer now / at the hands of what breed of men – / all for reverence, my reverence for the gods!” (107) ; she commits suicide and Creon finds her dead body.

Additionally, Eragon is perceived to having to

She insists that for her, there is nothing as great as death with glory. This refusal to follow the law of the land is what brings about her death. It is to this passage (Lns 450-460) that those critics especially point who see in Antigone the self-appointed upholder of divine as against human law. Antigone plays her part as peitho, yet remains true to her basic characterization (Adam 8). In this way Antigone is the classic tragic hero as seen in literature, a clear main character.

Both of her brothers killed each other, however Eteocles, her other brother, fought for the city and got an honorable burial, while Polynieces,
