All these is done with regard to a social worker with an aim to find out what value the moral responsibility and conscience in the code of a social worker has and to see what role in pursuance of his/her performance these concepts play. The moral responsibility of a social worker in the Ethical code is not described properly. The responsibility is mentioned there all together seven times, however, in an undefined sometimes even in a misleading way.

On the basis of the two tragedies, the diploma work tries to reconstruct ethical teaching standing in the background of these two pieces of work. The diploma work is divided into four main chapters. In the first two chapters I concentrated, on the basis of professional literature, on the principal works Antigone and Hamlet.
