Civil disobedience is described as the deliberate refusal of a citizen to follow certain laws or rules set by a government or other authority, usually via non violent means. Antigone commits civil disobedience after king Creon issues a proclamation to mandate that her brothers corpse remain unburied after the war for royal succession concluded. Antigone views the law as unjust due to her relationship with her brother, and for religious views stating that if left unburied then the person cannot have a peaceful afterlife. this triggers her to go out and attempt to bury her brothers corpse, thus engaging in civil disobedience non violently.

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 1 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance via email. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
