Antigone

In antigone she brakes the law by burying her brother, her sister Ismene disagreed to help her she would rather obey the law then brake it but Antigone would rather break the law and die. then sentry caught her barring her brothers body and she was arrested for it. she was taken to the king when Creon asked her her if she did it she said yes then of that one conversation the king brought her sister in and found out that she did don't help with the hard labor of digging a 6 feet down hole. well then Antigone soon to be husband Haemon came in and started to tell his dad that his law were wrong and it is wrong to have soon to be wife killed just because she started to bury her brother, and that his law were just for him. When Haemon left the room they took Antigone to a tomb and shackles around the wrist of her hand because she would be going to the underworld alive. when that was over with a seer named Tiresias came and kinda said that he had to bury the boy's body and let Antigone free or he will lose his son and his wife and that did happen. when Haemon father was going to let Antigone go he herd his sons scream and he had a guard or 2 go in to see what his son screamed then the king went in to see that he was holding on to Antigone body crying his father thought that he did it but when his son grabed his sword and lunged straight at his dad.then he kills him self with the sword and puts his arm around his dead bride.then the kings wife dies and stabbed her self at the alter then the king is asking for the gods to kill him end his life.
