Michael Kohlhaas is crazy

So after reading this "short story" (it's not short enough), I've decided that Michael Kohlhaas can be compared to Antigone as they both act irrationally and take very extreme action to get their points across. First of all, they both break the law - Antigone with the law of not burying her brother and Kohlhaas with his murdering spree. But while Antigone does it for "honor," Kohlhaas does it for "justice." It all relates back to family vs state. Kohlhaas didn't start breaking the law and taking action into his own hands until his wife was killed. The difference between Antigone and Kohlhaas, however, is that I feel that Kohlhaas loses his purpose as the story progresses. It starts with him wanting justice, but then he ends up acting out of revenge. His irrational actions of killing innocent people and burning different towns to find the Junker seemed like it was more for revenge than justice. However, this can be seen as a kind of rebellion against the corrupt government. It is hard to follow this story and the reasons why Kohlhaas acts the way he does, but the most I got from it is that he wanted revenge for his wife, reminding me of Antigone's actions to honor her brother. Even though they are both, in a way, honoring their family, by killing or dying for the death of their loved ones, Antigone never broke out of her purpose. I think that is why Kohlhaas cannot really be seen as the good guy. He is the victim in the beginning, but he makes himself the criminal in the end by acting irrationally and losing his purpose.
