How could Antigone's life have been different if she had behaved in a less prideful manner?Aristotle identifies the tragic hero as a character who falls from a lofty postion because of a tragic flaw, normally that flaw is pride.

Which scenes displays pride and what are the effects that the pride has on the characters life?

Please reference Act, scene, and line numbers, if possible.  Thanks!
