OKAY so anti-antigone propaganda cause she is NOT a buried avatar she's an END avatar (for the record this is all lighthearted and stuff:]] for fun!!) okay so first off, I see why people are saying antigone's a buried avatar I guess, but there is SO much more proof towards end antigone it's Insane. Yes you can take some aspects of the buried from her, but not enough to warrant being labeled as a buried avatar, much less The buried avatar or even that aligned with the buried anyway??? First off, more physical/simpler things- her story starting with burying her brother has less to do with the burying itself and more to do with the religious rites that come with it. As its well known, in Greece you can't properly move into Hades (the afterlife) without the rites, and THATS why she wanted to bury him- that's more end aligned then anything. I believe she has the same end-buried confusion as you could have with Hezekiah Wakely- he's a gravedigger who talked about being overwhelmed with some of the aspects of his job, but finds peace when he's digging graves. At first you could take this at somewhat face value and say Oh dirt dig overwhelmed kinda buried stwo people at least alive Buried Avatar but he is Not he's an end avatar, because at the end of the day it was the peace that came with the death that enticed Wakely. Also on that note, I'll move onto the second point- yes she was assigned to die by being locked in a tomb (if I'm remebering right, something along those lines) HOWEVER: It didn't have anything to do with being buried alive, or crushed, or anything along those lines (which are all the signatures of the buried), she was left to slowly starve to death instead, which renders the buried influence so irrelevant that it shouldn't really be counted? Not only that, but at the end of the day she ends up taking her OWN life anyway. Not by anything buried related, but only to claim her own death! I have more to say about how end she is, but I'll address the metaphorical buried attributes people assign to her. You can say she's tied to or crushed by her families tragedy or crushed by those expectations and dealing with things like that (I don't know if I wrote down the ideas here well enough but people have sent in antigone propaganda stuff so you can go look at that for reference:]), however that's not the center point of her story is! Not only that, I would say her family is more aligned with the desolation and she's more marked by desolation rather than buried cause of it. ALSO, she isn't "buried" by them either, or if she was then the end dragged her out of it- we can see when she goes to bury her brother, she asks her sister to help her and when she refuses Antigone goes without her anyway and scorns her later! If you want, you can take this as her moving from buried to end even. NOT TO MENTION, her death triggered like 4 others, in such also triggering the END of the Oedipus family AND Antigone is the last play in the trilogy- making it the END. Making HER the literal end. There's quotes and stuff I want to add (she quite literally says something along the lines of "I belong to Death now), but I've written this full stream of consciousness at lunch and it's already at the end so I don't have time right now LMAO I will later though
