Antigone and Creon

…anagnorisis. Antigone, although a sentimental character who honours the gods and family, is not portrayed without fault. She is seen to be stubborn and proud, constantly going to the extremes of emotion without adopting the path of moderation which is what Sophocles is advocating, and through all her arguments and taunts, is also seen to be a hypocrite. In this way, Sophocles is able to show some good in Creon and some bad in Antigone.
