Antigone and her sentence( is the sentry like the watchmen)

Why does the sentry bring Antigone to Creon despite knowing she will be executed? Is the death penalty a fitting punishment for Antigone's crime? Explain. How does she defend herself?

The sentry brings Antigone to Creon knowing she will be executed because he needed to redeemed him because of what he did earlier. Earlier in the day the sentry had came to Creon with the story on how him and the watchmen founded the brother's body buried and how someone had performed the ritual for the dead on and that they did not know who did it. Then when a tornado hit they saw Antigone performing the ritual so they had to turned her in so Creon would know they were doing their job correctly. The death penalty is a little harsh for Antigone for performing the ritual for her brother. She just wanted her brother to get the respect he deserved. Also since Antigone is Creon niece and soon to be daughter-in-law she should be spared but since earlier Creon said he will persecuted anyone who tried to mess with the dead brothers body even family so he can't go back on his word. That would show us a weakness in Creon which he does not want to show to his community. Antigone defends herself by saying she didn't know that she violated a law because she doesn't remember Zeus saying anything about how she couldn't buried her brother. Then again she kind of didn't defend herself because she tells Creon like I did bury and if I should die for it let it be I was going to die in my life anyway. She still siding with her family even though death is in the picture now.

Is Antigone a strong girl?

Antigone is very strong-minded. She does not believe in the stereotype of women being inferior to men, she believes she is equal and that she is no lesser than any men. Antigone displays her strength when she sides with her brother, Ployneices saying he should receive a proper burial like his brother Eteocle, instead of being place on the road to be eaten by animals. The reason Ployneices is being place on the side of the road is because he traded on the City of Thebes and King Creon, their uncle, believes a traitor should not have a proper burial. Antigone is against the whole thing because she believes her brother (Ployneices) should get some respect because once before her brother was the King and was still a part of the royal family. Antigone expresses how independent she is when she is still siding for her brother Ployneices when no one else is one her side. I hope this the rest of the play is interesting.
