Empathy for the Tyrant, or the Feminist?

Antigone causes me to feel more pity and fear. She is more relatable because she has moral values and is willing to stand up for what she believes in. We can see this when she buries Polynice's body, even after it was outlawed by Creon. There are many of Antigone's values that cause me to feel more empathetic to her than Creon. For example, being able to stand up and do what you feel is right. She also believes that everyone should be entitled to their rights, regardless of whether or not they are criminals or not. These values cause me to feel empathetic for her because she is a more caring person, willing to sacrifice her own life to give rights to a dead person.
