Antigone the Feminazi

In the story on Antigone she is a brave and stubborn character like her father. These characteristics are bizarre for a women of her time period. Women were not considered equal to men. Now one would have expected a women to disobey the laws like she did or to stand up for what they believe in. Antigone stood by her beliefs and was not afraid to dies for it.
Creon describes Anigone's actions as "disloyal", "viperous", and "slinking". He is trying to have her be perceived as a snake; someone who is deceiving and disloyal. He also describes her actions as those not of a women. I think that he is struggling with the fact that he does not want to be seen as inferior to a women so he feels the need to punish her. If he were to let her free without punishment he might be seen as weak, or that his laws were meaningless. He wants to kill her to make the statement that women should not stand up against men and that they are crazy if they do. He is stubborn as well and doesn't take into consideration that his law conflicts withe the god's wishes of a proper burial.
