Antigone Nietzsche

Antigone, to me, is more of a Nietzschean character because she creates her own moral horizon despite what she is advised to do, which is to forget about her brother's burial and to marry the king's son. She, in a way, is a superman. She breaks away from what other people are doing and what they think is okay. Since she defies other's horizons and goes towards her own, she is a Nietzschean Superman.
