Summary

Sophocles' Antigone, translated by Richard Emil Braun, offers a striking portrayal of moral and political dilemmas. Set in the aftermath of a civil war, Antigone defies King Creon’s edict by burying her brother Polynices, a deemed traitor. This act of defiance leads to a tragic conflict between family loyalty, divine law, and state power. Antigone’s unwavering stance, driven by love and religious duty, challenges Creon’s rigid authority, and the play’s exploration of justice, fate, and duty resonates with timeless relevance.
