Why was Antigone stubborn in 'Antigone'?

Awareness of the consequences of her actions in this world and the next and loyalty to her family are the reasons why Antigone is stubborn in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is devoted to her family. She therefore insists that god-given guarantees of below-ground burials need to be honored for both her twin brothers instead of being illegally and whimsically applied. Additionally, she fears less the death sentence for violating an illegal royal edict than the shunning in the Underworld of the afterlife for violating a divine law.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
