Opinion – What is your take on Creon’s and Antogone’s position on Law?

Assignment/sharing for feedback.

Antigone, by Sophocles, contrasts two types of law: 

1. Divine or religious law is defended and argued by Antigone.
2. The law of men and states is supported and argued by Creon.

Instructions 

Much of the play is a dialogue between Antigone and Creon concerning these two types of law.  Which law do you feel sets a precedent over the other?  Please develop a clear and concise argument and include at least two references of dialogue from the play in your post to solidify your point.

Post 2 replies to your peers that counter their argument. Take the opposite stance even if you disagree with it. Include in your reply at least two references of dialogue from the play to solidify your counterpoint.

• You can either reference the script or just reference the viewed play. This discussion must be written in college-level English.  References MUST be cited in your initial post.
• Small Note: Discussion assignments throughout the summer semester will follow the same pattern. POSTS will be due on Tuesdays, and REPLIES will be due on Fridays.
