Essay Prompt
Both Antigone and Martin Luther King Jr. engage in civil disobedience. They violate laws that they believe are
unjust in order to help people and are willing to suffer the consequences for their actions. In other words, they
believe a higher good requires them to disobey specific laws, but this does not make them lawless. Yet despite
these similarities, they carry out civil disobedience in very different ways. Explain the differences between
Antigone and King?s views on civil disobedience and the different means they use to achieve their ends.
