Antigone

Antigone was a heroine who saw past her own pain and suffering and did what she believed to be right. She knew that not doing something would be worse than facing the punishment that Creon would give her. She tried to tell Creon that he was wrong in his doings, as did many others. Antigone did eventually end up being banished to live in a cave where she immediately hung herself after being placed there. I don't think that she did this to giver herself glory or to make sure that Creon suffered. I think she saw past all of that and did this as a way to make an example of a situation so that others would remember it forever. So, yes, I do believe she did it to solidify her fame, but not in a selfish way. I do believe that she wanted Creon to suffer, and I do believe that she wanted to be famous, but she wanted it for the right reasons. She wanted for everyone to always remember and never forget the story of Creon, king of Thebes, who held his own pride above all else. She did this so that the story would stand the test of time so that nothing like this would ever happen again. Because of this, I do think that Antigone is a good person. She stood up for her beliefs in the face of death. She made a change for all others at her own expense.
