Antigone clearly states her rationale for acting against Creon’s proclamation. How can you connect her reasoning to the play’s themes so far?

The Chorus, perhaps acting as stand-in gods, passes judgment on both Creon and Antigone at various points throughout the play. At times they seem to underestimate the harm that Creon's decision to punish Antigone will create for many of the characters, but since their job is to uphold Creon's laws they seem torn. They encourage Creon to listen to Haemon and Teiresias when they offer him contrary advice, but the Chorus doesn't offer him any advice of their own. The Chorus also seems to judge Antigone harshly at times, though they do convey sympathy for her plight. They admire her for standing up for what she believes is just, but they condemn her for knowingly breaking a law in the first place. The Chorus's judgment suggests that both Creon and Antigone bear responsibility for the tragic events of the play.

government is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
