This paper explores Antigone’s guilt, examining how Judith Butler takesissue with Hegel’s interpretation of Sophocles’ Antigone in thePhenomenology of Spirit. In Antigone’s Claim, Judith Butler argues thatHegel wrongly casts Antigone as representing the law of household gods,although Antigone transgresses the very mandate of that law. Referring toHegel’s discussion of wrong in his Elements of the Philosophy of Right, Ishow that Butler misses Hegel’s crucial point: Antigone’s deception. Basedon this reading, I argue that in Hegel’s interpretation Antigone mustacknowledge her guilt for transforming the gods’ unwritten law into her ownlaw.
