"The play "Antigone" by Sophocles and "A Doll's House" by Henrik Ibsen show many elements in common with respect to their heroines. In "Antigone" Antigone, the daughter of Oedipus, disobeys King Creon's orders of established law and buries her brother. In "A Doll's House" Nora rebels against her husband and confining role as housewife and mother and walks out on her family. Both women risk enormous odds by transgressing against civil and conventional law and both pay an enormous price."More papers on Antigone and Nora:
