Antigone

In my opinion, Antigone has the winning argument. This took me a while to decide, but imagine, what if your father, brother, or other close relation was dead. Suddenly an authority that you did not really take seriously, declared that that your relative was worthless, and deserved no honor or respect. If I really loved my relative, I might accept the chance of dying, if I knew that morally, I had done the right thing. As Antigone said, I would rather die knowing I had done a noble thing, "the right thing to do", than live a long life feeling guilty as well as un-loyal to a bond that is stronger than almost any other in the world. Family is the close-knit group of people that we spend a substantial amount of our life with. Besides non-blood family such as spouses, and another exception being parents, I think that the tie between siblings is one of the strongest bonds there is. Antigone decided to honer that tie, no mater what her brother had done to anger people. She is the honorable one, because she chose her blood-brother over law. She put her family first.
