Each character in the story shows their true emotions regarding their position and life. After reading the story, the plot is so powerful even after days, still leaving a strong impact on my mind. Each character has their own different point of view on justice, but in my eyes I believe they all did the right thing. Creon believes that Polyneices is a traitor to his own country and does not deserve a proper burial. On the other hand, Antigone believes that Polyneices did what he should have done; it was his right to have the throne of Thebes. Furthermore, he believes that every dead man deserves to have a proper burial, regardless of what he did in his life. In my opinion Antigone could have changed her destiny. When I was in China, I studied many feminist heroes who changed their destiny. For example, Huamulan is one of the feminist heroines. She took her father's place and joined the army because her father was very old and did not want her to suffer from pain. Many years later, the battle was over. In consideration of her military feat, the Khan of the Northern Dynasty offered Mulan a high official position, but she rejected the position to return to her family. She put on makeup after returning home. When her former companions visited her home, they were shocked to see her dressed as a woman. I don't believe in fate, no matter how terrible the condition
