摘要：
In this essay, I argue that Antigone talks about the transgression of the edict and about her death as an issue within the politics of Thebes. As Antigone's appropriation of key-words such as , , , and shows, the heroine displays a political understanding of her own acts in several passages of the play (Ant. 7-10,26-36,86-87 and 93-94 in Antigone's first verbal exchange with Ismene; Ant. 508-509 and 523 in the stichomythia between Creon and Antigone; Ant. 806-816,842-849 and 937-943 in Antigone's farewell speeches; Ant. 902-907 in Antigone's defence speech). In my reading, Antigone's political representation of her deeds is deeply rooted in her view of death as a free choice.
