 Once the initial premises behind the characters in "Antigone" have been established, the action of the play moves steadily and inevitably towards the outcome.Once Creon has discovered that Antigone buried her brother against his orders, the ensuing discussion of her fate is devoid of arguments for mercy because of youth or sisterly love from the Chorus, Haemon or Antigone herself.Most of the arguments to save her center on a debate over which course adheres best to strict justice.
