"For this poor girl, doomed to the cruelest death,
And most unjust, that ever woman suffered
For an honorable action -- burying a brother
Who was killed in battle, rather than leave him naked
For dogs to maul and carrion birds to peck at" (145).
Who is the tragic hero in this play? Why?

Antigone Quote of the Day
“The she picks up the dry earth in her hands,
And pouring out of a fine bronze urn she’s brought
She makes her offering three times to the dead.
Soon as we saw it, down we came and caught her"(138).
Does Antigone have a tragic flaw? If so, what is it?
