Antigone and her Sentence

The sentry brings Antigone to Creon even though she will be executed because if Creon doesn't find the true culprit of the crime, he will kill the watchmen. I understand that Creon wants Antigone dead. It is a sign to others that he will not tolerate law breaking. But I do not agree that she should be executed. Antigone was doing what she believed was the right thing to do. Also, execution should not be a punishment for any crime. Antigone defends herself by saying how Creon was not being fair, that no one liked him, and that it was her duty to bury her brother. Other than that, she accepted her punishment and was willing to die and be with her brother.

Is Antigone a strong girl?

I think Antigone disobeyed her uncle and sided with her brother because she has a stronger connection with her brother. Her family has been through some tough times and I imagine that the four siblings stayed close. Antigone believes in the after-life and doesn't wants her brother to spend eternity in the Underworld. She chose her family over her country and I understand because somethings, like the fate of a brother, are more important then obeying the law.
