She is niece to our antagonist Creon, whose son Haimon she is engaged to marry. Her siblings include the brothers Etocles and Polyneices killed by the time of the play, and her sister Ismene.

Even though Creon's edict demands that she leave the body be, the love she has for her dead brother causes Antigone to bury her brother anyways. If a body was left unburied in the Greek religion, the soul would never come to rest.

She is left inside a cave with its mouth covered by a boulder to starve to death.

Antigone didn't blindly follow the law, she thought for herself what was the right thing to do. She also was aware of what would happen to her before she buried Polyneices, but she didn't let fear stop her.
