Page "Antigone (Sophocles)" Paragraph 14

Antigone buries Polyneices at the very beginning, and so the play is consumed mainly with the second, third and fourth questions.

Once Creon has discovered that Antigone buried her brother against his orders, the ensuing discussion of her fate is devoid of arguments for mercy because of youth or sisterly love from the Chorus, Haemon or Antigone herself.

Most of the arguments to save her center on a debate over which course adheres best to strict justice.
