Answer:

  • She is removed from society.
  • She courageously upholds her beliefs.
  • She breaks rules for a noble purpose.
  • She sacrifices herself to fix a wrongdoing.

Explanation:

A tragic hero is a protagonist who experiences downfall caused by a personal flaw. Antigone is seen as the play's heroine who possesses several tragic imperfections leading to her demise.

One of Antigone's tragic flaws is her unwavering loyalty to the gods contrasted with her defiance against King Creon. Early in the play, Creon declares that her brother Polynices must remain unburied due to his betrayal. Antigone finds this unacceptable and is determined to honor the gods by providing her brother a proper burial, even if it means facing execution for disobeying Creon. Her resolve to honor divine law and her brother is a fatal character defect.

Another tragic imperfection is Antigone's stubbornness. She fails to see other perspectives. For her, giving her brother a burial is paramount. She disregards how her actions affect her sister Ismene, who tries to persuade her to obey Creon, and her fiancé Haemon, Creon's son. She is too inflexible to consider that complying with Creon's edict might be better for everyone involved.
