Scene 5

Odes One and Two Antigone

Readers and viewers of the play 'Antigone' learn from the first ode that mortals face a challenging choice between good and evil. According to the first ode, a good life is led when a mortal respects the laws of the city and the justice of the gods. But the problem with which the play begins is the contradiction between the laws of mortals and the justice of the gods.

In the second ode, readers and viewers learn of another challenging problem. That problem is the mischievous role of the gods. According to the second ode, mortals are lured into offending the gods and therefore into cycles of divine punishment. In fact, their offenses bring upon them and their descendants divine curses from which there's no escape. Such indeed is the case of Antigone, whose great grandfather was the cursed Theban King Labdacus.

The lesson that readers and viewers therefore learn from the two odes combined is the inevitability of suffering and death. The gods say that mortals must respect earthly laws and divine justice. The laws of Thebes contradict the justice of the gods. The Theban who respects one law violates the other. Violation of earthly laws is punished with death. Violation of god given justice is punished with curses and death
