Sophocles’ character Antigone illustrates Steckel’s idea of an immature man by wanting to die with glory but instead dies due to her rigidity. During her hearing to the king, Creon after burying her brother against the king’s law, Antigone says, “how could I win a greater share of glory than putting my own brother in his grave?” (Antigone, 547-548). Antigone’s statement about glory reveals some more selfish motives as to why she buried her dead brother’s body. She states that she did not only bury him because she felt it was the morally correct thing to do, but that she also had a desire to leave behind a legacy with prestige, even if it meant being stoned to death. Antigone’s motives for her actions associate with Steckel’s quote on the mark
