In Sophocles' tragedy "Antigone," a power struggle erupts between Creon the King of Thebes, and Antigone, princess and daughter of Oedipus,carter after Creon publicly announces that Polyneices (Antigone's brother), will not be granted a right to burial after being slain in battle. The enraged Antigone defies Creon's decree and sets out to bury her brother anyways. Which leads to Creon feeling as if he is being challenged, and he must defend his honor and status as a ruler, and punish her. Although Creon believes that he has the most power in this struggle, he is wrongfully mistaken, for Antigone's position in this struggle is backed up by the laws of the Gods and moral rights. Antigone plays the role of an ancient Greece feminist in the tragedy. Throughout time, the decisions of peace, war and politics were made by men. Although in some cultures, such as Native American culture, women had a say in many decisions concerning these topics. However, to point out, women did not have much of a role in Greek society, their roles consisted of that in their homes, and were considered to be equal to that of second class slaves. Due to this gender diversity in the decision making process, much more fruitful and knowledgeable decisions could be made, to ensure the most benevolent result. Furthermore, the mindset, thought process and beliefs of women differ greatly from that of men, such as that of Antigone. Despite that many people knew that Creon's order was immoral, they did not speak out, for they feared the punishment. For instance, Antigone immediately realizes that what Creon is doing is morally wrong, and without delay she buries her brother. Furthermore, in Greco beliefs, God's law permits all to possess burial rights, Creon is defying this by withholding Polyneices' burial from him for he believes that the God's agree with him that Polyneices is a wicked individual, to which Antigone debates "Which of us can say what the gods hold wicked?" (Antigone 211) Ultimately, this question which Antigone cleverly hurled towards Cre
