This is what’s up at the beginning of the book. We even have a little bit of conflict right off the bat.
Antigone discovers that if she’s going to bury her brother, she’s going to have to go it alone.
Antigone’s situation gets worse. (You weren’t supposed to disagree with the King. Ever.)
We told you you’re not supposed to argue with the King. Antigone’s fate is sealed.
Although Antigone seems destined to die, there is hope again that she will be released.
Creon’s reversal of his decision offers final hope to Antigone.
Creon’s decision came too late. The play ends.
