Antigone's Pride
"Like a bird coming back to an empty nest, peering into its bed and all the babies gone..." (Lines 471-472). I think that Creon think that Antigone is with Polynices as a bird would have done with her babies. This quote reveals that Antigone would protect anybody no matter what as long as they are important to her. A theme in this book would be pride. Antigone and even Ismene had at least some pride for doing part of burying Polynices.

    I didn't really think of a theme of the book as pride, but I do now. Thanks for helping me see it in a different way!
