- Antigone's brothers are dead, but her uncle has decided to leave Polynices unburied. She knows this is not right, and decides to ignore Creon's law in order to do what is right.
- Antigone is able to give her brother funeral rights, but she is caught. She has challenged Creon’s authority, and he sentences her to death. Even his son, her fiancé, cannot convince him to change his mind.
- Antigone is walled away in a cave. Teiresias comes to reason with Creon. Creon agrees to free Antigone. They arrive at the cave too late: Antigone has hung herself. Her fiancé kills himself, and the Queen does the same. Creon is left cursed, and in despair.
