Creon Vs Antigone

In the play Antigone, it is often seen as Antigone being the hero while Creon is often shown to be a villain. This is probably because Antigone is more commonly seen as the protagonist, why is this though.  She is the main character of the play, but really is she justified. Are her actions wholly intended to bury her dead brother or are they about something more. Rather than Antigone following the rules of the world she thinks that she can play by her own rules. She thinks that that she will be able to do what she want to do unchecked, she buries her brother not so she can save his soul but rather to test the power of the new governmental regime. This is often overlooked in Antigone, but Creon is a new king, that just got out of one war with one of Antigone's brothers. If she were to some how challenge the authority of the new king she could have caused turbulence with in the community. This would have caused another uprising maybe forcing Creon out of power. Although Antigone is a woman in a power vacuum really anything can happen it would have been possible for her to take a spot on the throne. The reason that this is true is because she could have come up with another way to save her brothers soul. Instead she was too bull headed and decided to take matters into her own hands. Antigone wasn't even bold enough to take her punishment after it was dealt. This shows that she honestly didn't ever think that she was going to be punished, proving that she thought that the new king was weak. Antigone thought that there was a chance that she could over throw Creon and when she failed it was shown to the world as civil disobedience  instead of an act of war upon her own country. She is not justified in her actions because all that she was really trying to do was over throw Creon who was justifiably in a place of power.
