This work argues that Antigone, the renowned insurgent from Sophocles's "Oedipus" and feminist icon, represents a form of sexual and feminist legacy that is fraught with risk. Judith Butler suggests that Antigone shows how the constraints of normative kinship unfairly decide how a life will be led.
