Civil disobedience is defined as the refusal to comply with certain laws or pay taxes and fines, as a form of peaceful protest. By this definition Antigone did engage in civil disobedience because she refused to follow the orders of the king. Antigone insisted on burying her dead brother and even tried to persuade her sister to aid her plan. The king stated that whoever does not adhere to his words will be punished. Despite the fact that the gods say that every dead mortal must be properly buried in-order to go to heaven. Antigone was morally right in my opinion but the laws made by lawmakers are not always right.
