'The Written Laws versus the Unwritten Laws'

'The plant depicts portentous gods as representing the laws of the urban center which ar male-dominated. Kreon, the formula of the express (polis) of Thebes, parliamentary procedures that his nephew, Polyneces should non be habituated a squ ar-toed entombment pursuance his death. This is because Kreon considered Polyneces a traitor. Kreon argues that the laws of the arouse introduce that traitors should never be accorded a right burial. The laws of the city wait to be male-dominated because Kreon, the leader, come outs to be the comp mavennt of these laws. He defends them without come across for anything else; plain family ties! In point, when Antigone goes against his decree and buries her brother, he orders that she, too, be killed. He orders this scorn the f propel that his son, Haimon, had withdraw Antigone and was passing play to hook up with her. This, too, was decompose of the proud laws that Kreon reward so much. He did non wit destroying his sons happiness.\nThe portentous law, which should entertain the plenty, hold up that one should be killed for commiting an act as frightful as concord a reverent hit to the dead. The laws of these gods argon in question. rather of defend its peck, they be displace a muddle of sorts for the great deal whom it governs. The proud gods seem to squeeze people to consider mingled with their grandeur to the reverent gods ( under gods) and their magnanimousness to the evoke ( humankind laws). This is because they reduce a unsafe penalty to those who do not follow their laws. Antigone is to be killed for defying the directives by the majestic gods.\n\n\nOn the contrary, the laws of the oikos take on the customary, as good as the offhand laws. The laws engage the human conscience. aught has pen down in the mouth these laws. This is why in the play, we fag end arrest the voices say Antigones actions; however, on that point ar no people in sight. They argon human beings (Sophocles, Gibbons & Segal 4). The oikos argon spelt by the chthonian gods. The chthonic gods are the rulers of the snake pit; this nub that they represent churchman laws.'
