      1. Antigone and Creon
        1. Their opposing opinions forms a solid wall between these two that neither of them are willing to break down

          2. Antigone and Ismene
            1. Though they may have been close in the beginning, Ismene cuts their bonds by not agreeing to bury the body with Antigone
            2. All family members
              1. As the family has angered the gods for generations on end, all of them are destined to be seperated
                1. Their seperation causes all family members to bear the pain although none of them really do much to change it
              2. Sisterly Bonds
                1. Antigone and Ismene
                  1. Antigone and Ismene share a very close sisterly bond by which Anitgone trusts Ismene to help her bury the body, however Ismene does not agree to her ideas
                    1. Ismene loves Antigone beyond words can describe however she is more afraid of the price of rebellion than her sister's love

                        2. Antigone and the Gods
                          1. Antigone believes the gods wish both Polynices and Eteocles to be buried in equal honour
                            1. She believes the gods hold greater power than Creon and so respect them much more so than Creon, a mortal being
                        3. Status
                          1. Power
                            1. Creon
                              1. As king of Athens and Thebes, Creon holds the greater majority of power
                                1. Creon uses this power with good intentions however his decisions seem to always lead to the minor effect
                              2. Gods
                                1. In all greek theatre, the gods hold the utmost power as they are of the highest status, being the great unwritten, unshakable traditions
                                  1. Their immotality grants them power over all and have the most respect from others
                                    1. This especially effects Antigone as she holds absolute respect for them and her respect causes her to solely oppose Creon
                                  2. Creon vs Antigone
                                    1. As Creon is king and Antigone a princess, they are both of extremely high status
                                      1. Both their statuses grant them the ability to cause the most change within Thebes and as they are the ultimate opposing forces, they throw the kingdom out of balance
