Antigone Review

The video of Antigone is as sad as the story of her father, Oedipus the former king of Thebes. It started off with her brother, Polyneices trying to invade the city-state of Thebes with his Argive army. Long ago Polyneices left Thebes to be with his father, Oedipus who was thrown out of Thebes because of an edict. But now he his back to reclaim his throne, which is presently occupied by his brother Eteocles. The two brothers and their armies engage in battle and killed each other. With the last of the male in the royal family dead, Creon their uncle is next in line to become king.

As his first act as king of Thebes, he issues an edict. The edict forbids anybody to bury the body of Polyneices, which is lying in the earth being eaten by birds and dogs.

As Creon sees that his son would rather be on the side of Antigone then obeying his own father, Creon got enrage and declare that Antigone will die in front of Haimon's eyes. Once Haimon heard that he left the palace with a warning to Creon. "If she die then her death will cause another".

Back in the palace a messenger inform the queen, Eurydice of what has happened. And as she makes her way in the palace she blames Creon for the death of both of her sons, Haimon and Megareus, who was killed in the battle of Polyneices and Eteocles. When Creon return from the tomb carrying the lifeless body of Haimon a servant reports that Eurydice id killed by her own hands. A totally broken Creon slow
