What political course might you have followed upon leaving the theater?

“Whose Law?”
Please write 150 words about the conflict between Creon’s decree and Antigone’s allegiance to a different law.
First: Describe the two kinds of laws and Antigone’s and Creon’s positions and explain which position is more appealing to you. You must use at least 2 quotes from the play in your discussion of the two kinds of law.
Second: Address the question of what your reaction to this play would have been had you been in the original audience for this play in Athens? What political course might you have followed upon leaving the theater? That is, would you have been on Antigone’s or Creon’s side, or somewhere else?
Please note that you must include your quotes at the beginning and that they do not count as part of the word limit.
