Antigone se retire

The essay attributes to the figure of Antigone a destituent power capable of sovverting a idea of politics based on death. In this sense, Antigone looks like not only as anti-dialectical figure, but as political figure too; in fact, she is not fighting against the Creon, as Hegel declares, she is leaving rather the weight of its violence: Antigone is not against power but she is far from it. In this way she shows to the chorus - the people of Thebes - her uncle’s tyrannical power.
