Antigone

I feel that Anitgone is a heroine. She stood up for what she believed in and although she went against the laws of her time, she stood up for laws that may have the need to be changed. I think that this play kind of reminds me of a lot of the things people have stood up for in real life even thought they went against the laws of their times. Like slavery, women's rights and gay/lesbian marriage. Just because the law says its wrong or it used to be considered unacceptable does it really mean it is wrong? If there is generally a good reason to go agaitnst then maybe it is worth the trouble. I believe she stood up for a good reason.
