"Before the Law"

To me, the article is about breaking the law. Throughout the article, the doorkeeper only tells the man he is not allowed in, but doesn't take any action. The man follows the doorkeeper's orders and waits until (he believes) he is allowed in. What I find ironic is the fact that the door to "the law" is left open the entire time. To me, this is suppose to be a sign for the man to go in. He believes the law should be accessible to anyone, and yet the doorkeeper keeps him from entering.
This article relates to Antigone because it has to do with breaking the law. Antigone goes against the law in order to bury her brother, which is the right thing to do. She doesn't care about what people say and the consequences that could come out of it. The man should have done the same by going past the guard through the door, but instead he wasted his entire life waiting.
