Otherness in the character Antigona of Sofocles. Approximation to a reading from Emmanuel Levinas

This article deals with pose an approach to the relationship between the character of Antigone of Sophocles and the notion of otherness by Emmanuel Levinas. The thesis which I contend is as follows: the otherness is one of the experiences that lead to Antigone to decide the way of own death motivated by the conviction of his dead brother. The topics of the writing are divided in two: The proximity of Antigone with his brother and The otherness in the decision against the condemnation of his dead brother. I conclude this text stating that Levinas and Sophocles can dialogue in an ethical sense, of freedom, of the election on the other and the consequences of this; each highlights the importance of the value that has an insubordination when the injustice and imposition are the weapon of the tyrant.
