Antigone, Natural Law & Positivism KD

After discovering the debacle of my Platonic Natural presentation I began to research other areas/cases that presented natural law. Here, I found quite a compelling case of the dynamic between natural law and positivism, much like that found in the Orestia.

Antigone's brother Polyneices attacks his other brother, Eteocles, for the right to rule Thebes. Both brothers die; the new king, Creon, ultimately takes the throne. With the advent of his kingship, Creon decides that Eteocles, not Polyneices, should be viewed as a hero. Polyneices, well his body is left to rot with the punishment that anyone trying to bury the body will be killed. Antigone, nonetheless, compelled by a "natural" inclination that bodies must be buried in order that their spirit find peace, performs burial rights to her brother. She ultimately dies.

There is a schism in the play: natural law versus positivism. Natural law can be found in the viewpoint of Antigone, that is, there is a "natural" sense, whether it be through reason or some type of divine spirit, that a body must be buried, that Polyneices deserves a burial for peace. This disposition, however, collides with that of Creon, that is, the body must be left to rot, must be shown as a sign for all to see--a positivist law.

My question at hand now is the following: Is Antigone right in burying the body or should she have respected the positivist law stating that no one is to bury the body. (Note: if you are interested in the story, here is a brief summary via booknotes: )
