Explain how the conflict between familial loyalty and civil obedience is resolved, how theme is revealed through resolution, and what you can learn about the ancient greek culture through a theme from the play antigone

1.

The conflict between civil disobedience and familial loyalty is one of the most important ones in the play Antigone. This is exemplified by the apparent contradictions between the laws of humans and the laws of the gods.

Antigone wants her brother to have a proper burial. She wants to do so despite the fact that Creon, the new king, has forbidden it. Antigone knows how important it is for the afterlife to get a proper burial. In doing so, she would be fulfilling her familial duties as well as the laws of the gods. However, she would be violating the laws of people. This is eventually resolved by the opposition between Antigone and Creon. Although they both pursue their goals to the end, we learn that it is Antigone who has the favor of the gods.

2.

Through this battle between Creon and Antigone, the theme is expressed. The theme deals with the different conceptions of justice, particularly, justice as expressed through the laws of gods and justice through the laws of humans. The resolution indicates that it is the laws of gods that win.

3.

Based on this play, we can conclude that Greek culture was greatly concerned with the concept of justice. More importantly, we can conclude that they often believed that the laws of men did not follow the laws of gods, and that, if in conflict, the laws of gods should take precedence.
