Explanation:

It is general believe in the Greece that a native must be buried. When the two brother Eteocles and Polyniece died in battle and the successor king Creons decided to bury only Eteocles leaving Polyniece for leading foreign army, their sister Antigone went ahead to bury and which also resulted in her death and others.

The theme is a classical expression of disobedience to authority which Antigone contravened.

What she believed was the best plan turned out to be a curse.
