Her “harmartia” however is not the flaw. Creon declares that Eteocles' body will be honored, but that Polyneices' corpse will be left to rot and anyone who attempts to bury it will be executed. Antigone feels that this is wrong, and here she demonstrates how she will stand up and act on something she believes is wrong. He therefore declares that he will bury his brother despite Creon's law. Antigone's rebellious act and determined loyalty to her brother's memory become her harmony and ultimately cause her downfall. However, he doesn't seem overly reluctant towards death. She welcomes him because she knows she has nothing to lose from the beginning and therefore she didn't hold back. Antigone's characteristics make her a tragic hero. I believe that because of Antigone's loyalty, she had the potential to rule a society. However, she did not possess the feminine or typical qualities of women of those times. Women were considered inferior to men, which Antigone neither agreed nor respected. He acted as powerfully as a man in Thebes would have done. Her sister reflects the object of all men's desires, which Antigone opposes. Creon in particular seems to think that Antigone is unworthy of being the princess of his son (Haemon) and thinks she is easily replaceable..
