Antigone is not guilty of treason because she was following the spiritual laws which were burying her brother with honor; which is more important than breaking a major king’s law. Fallowing the spiritual laws is more important because it's Gods proclamation that the final justice rules the world rather than Creons words proclaimed justice. God’s words proclaim that every human should have a proper burial while Creon denies the burial of Antigones brother. Creons opinions should be heard but not all should be taken as laws “A king's prerogatives, and not the least that all his acts and all his words are law”(Sophocles 497-506).
Creons way of thinking is just an opinion compared to a spiritual law where it is a law. Antigone believes that “It was not God’s Proclamation that final justice that rules the world below makes such laws they are not merely now: they were and shall be operative forever beyond mean utterly” (Sophocles 70). In that quote Antigone states that she would rather listen to God’s laws rather then Creons laws; because she would rather be judge by gods than being judge by people. She will be viewed as an innocent human being in god’s eyes while Creon will be viewed as a guilty person for not following spiritual laws.

Antigone should be viewed as innocent because she was just following the spiritual laws rather the opinion of Creon. Creon should be viewed as the guilty because he made her “break the law” and he did not accept her beliefs. Many tragedies occur to Creon for punishing Antigone. If Creon had never viewed Antigone as guilty man tragedies would not of happen to him so there for she is innocent.
