In order to bury her brother Polynices and honour him with a funeral, Antigone defies a decree imposed by Creon, king of Thebes. He condemns Antigone and has her entombed, despite the supplications of Haimon, his son and Antigone’s fiancé. The predictions made by the blind soothsayer Tieresias about impending calamity cause Creon to change his mind but alas, it too late, for both Antigone and Haimon have committed suicide.
Raising questions about justice and reconciliation, Antigone is “made to love, not to hate”.
