The play explores themes of duty, family loyalty, and the conflict between human law and divine law, centering around the titular character, Antigone, who is determined to give her brother Polynices a proper burial despite the king's decree that forbids it. The opening of "Antigone" sets the stage for the impending conflict by recounting the aftermath of a civil war in Thebes, where Antigone's brothers have killed each other. Creon, the new king, publicly announces that Eteocles will be honored with a burial, whereas Polynices, who fought against Thebes, will be left unburied as punishment. Antigone is outraged by this decision and seeks to convince her sister Ismene to help her defy the king's order and bury their brother. This initial dialogue establishes the central conflict of the play, highlighting Antigone's fierce commitment to her family and the laws of the gods, setting the scene for the tragic events that will follow.
