This detailed commentary on the action and argument of Sophocles'
Antigone is meant to be a reflection on and response to Hegel's
interpretation in the Phenomenology (VI.A.a-b). It thus moves
within the principles Hegel discovers in the play but reinserts
them into the play as they show themselves across the
eccentricities of its plot. Wherever plot and principles do not
match, there is a glimmer of the argument: Haemon speaks up for the
city and Tiresias for the divine law but neither for Antigone. The
guard who reports the burial and presents Antigone to Creon is as
important as Antigone or Creon for understanding Antigone. The
Chorus too in their inconsistent thoughtfulness have to be taken
into account, and in particular how their understanding of the
canniness of man reveals Antigone in their very failure to count
her as a sign of man's uncanniness: She who is below the horizon of
their awareness is at the heart of their speech. Megareus, the
older son of Creon, who sacrificed his life for the city, looms as
large as Eurydice, whose suicide has nothing in common with
Antigone's. She is "all-mother"; Antigone is anti-generation.
