What judgment error or character frailty does Antigone display in

Antigone's main error in judgment stems from her unwavering devotion to family loyalty and her personal convictions. While her determination to give her deceased brother, Polyneices, a proper burial shows her unwavering loyalty, it ultimately conflicts with the laws of the state and the authority of her uncle, King Creon.

By defying Creon's explicit orders and burying Polyneices, Antigone disregards the broader social implications of her actions and fails to prioritize public order and stability. Her unwavering adherence to personal morality leads her to disregard the potential consequences for herself and ultimately ends in tragedy. Antigone's inability to find a delicate balance between individual ethics and collective social responsibilities demonstrates her misjudgment.
