Some differences in men and women become clear after reading Antigone. Creon represents men as having the need for superiority, and whenever women, such as Antigone and Ismene, cross their path, the man feels violated. If Antigone had been a man commiting the same act as she did, the shock of the act would have been far less. This proves that women have an unfair disadvantage in society, and the only way to overcome that disadvantage is by breaking the law.
