About this book
In an era marked by the struggle between personal conviction and state law, Sophocles' "Antigone" emerges as a poignant exploration of moral duty. The play centers on Antigone’s fierce commitment to familial loyalty, as she challenges King Creon’s decree prohibiting the burial of her brother, emphasizing the conflict between divine law and human authority. With themes of justice and the consequences of defiance, this classic tragedy resonates deeply with contemporary discussions on civil disobedience and ethical governance. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians alike, "Antigone" invites readers to reflect on the complexities of duty and the price of standing up for one's beliefs. Engage with this timeless narrative that continues to inspire debates on morality and justice.
