Antigone

What line really stuck out to me was the line Creon says after hearing what Antigone has done.  He says that "The over-obstinante spirit is soonest broke; as the strongest iron will snap." I think it's a point of view people see often when a rebellion threatens to rise up. I'm wondering if Antigone will die, and perhaps be held as a matyr of the rebellion against Creon.

  1. I think Antigone might die as a parallel to Oedipus, because the 'spirit' she has that Creon says will break is compared to her father's.
