Antigonev.s. Chiveric codes

Even though Anitgone is a woman, but she indeed has all the characteristics that are included in the chivalric code. In the play Antigone, Antigone demonstrates her courage, loyalty and honor, also shown as a strong feminist, even in that ancient time. In the play, Antigone does what she believes in. She disobeys the new law that Creon has established, instead she buried her brother. By believing what is the right thing to do, and not fear facing her own death, she shows courageous. In order to give her brother a proper burial, she literally gives up her life, which is an example of loyalty also. Although, she is punished by Creon, and been sentenced to death, but Antigone never even had a glimpse of thought that she did something wrong. Even till her last moment, she still believes what she did was right and died with honor. Compare to any other Round Table Knights, Antigone proves herself with all the qualities within a great knight. However, how the knights show their qualities is different from how Antigone shows it. She never had a chance to gone to a war and cutting down others heads, but by sacrificing herself to her believes is also another way to prove that she's got the qualities.
