Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
She gave her brother a proper burial and ceremony, going against Creon's law!. She, as a woman, stood up against the king's orders!. She chose to follow god's law over man's law!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

the right to give her brother a proper buirial when her uncle (i believe its her uncle) wont letr her because when the twin brothers killed eachother the uncle favored one, and the other he left in a field to rot!. and in greece at the time unburied bodies were forced to walk along the edge of the river styx for eternity and couldnt pass into the underworldWww@QuestionHome@Com

Antigone was standing up for God over country!. She was standing up for love over law!. The law said that she couldn't bury her brother because he died a traitor, but she loved him and didn't want him to suffer in the after-life!. So she buried him!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
