Need Help This is my last day to submit assignments. Please only answer if you know how. Extremely very important and have to get my grade up). " In a response of 2 - 3 paragraphs, answer questions 1 - 4. ( Question 1: What are the beliefs of Creon, Antigone, and Haimon about laws? Compare and contrast. ( Question 2: What is the conflict of Antigone? ( Question 3: What is the theme of Antigone? ( Question 4: How does the conflict help develop the theme you identified? Be specific and use evidence from the text to support your answers.

1.The first difference is gender. Creon, as a male ruler, is responsible for the welfare of the entire city. Antigone, as female, has a special role in the family, and particularly family burial rites. Thus both in doing their traditional tasks come into conflict with each other. In religion, Creon follows the proper protocol of consulting a religious authority, Tireisias. 

2.The central conflict in Antigone has to do with the object of one's reverence:  the laws of man, or the laws of the gods. 

3.A central theme of Antigone is the tension between individual action and fate. While free choices, such as Antigone’s decision to defy Creon’s edict, are significant, fate is responsible for many of the most critical and devastating events of the trilogy.

4.One of the most central conflicts in Antigone is character vs. society, or character vs. state. Antigone is finding herself at odds with society, or the state, because the new King Creon has issued an ordinance that she finds morally objectionable.
