Read the following excerpt from Antigone. Then, in a well-developed response of one paragraph, explain how this passage both rev

eals. Antigone's character traits and helps develop one of the themes of the play. Use textual evidence from the play to support your answer.
Creon [To Antigone): Tell me, tell me briefly: Had you heard my proclamation touching this matter?

Antigone: It was public. Could I help hearing it?

Creon: And yet you dared defy the law.

Antigone: I dared.

It was not God's proclamation. That final Justice That rules the world below makes no such laws.

Your edict, King, was strong,

But all your strength is weakness itself against

The immortal unrecorded laws of God.

They are not merely now: they were, and shall be. Operative forever, beyond man utterly.

I knew I must die, even without your decree: I am only mortal. And if I must die

Now, before it is my time to die.

Surely this is no hardship: can anyone

Living, as I live, with evil all about me,

Think Death less than a friend? This death of mine Is of no importance; but if I had left my brother Lying in death unburied, I should have suffered. Now I do not.

You smile at me. Ah Creon,

Think me a fool, if you like: but it may well be That a fool convicts me of folly.

Your response should be composed of a complete 6-8 sentence paragraph, with in introduction, supporting body sentences, and a conclusion. Your response also needs to include evidence from the text in the form of quotes and paraphrased examples.

The passage reveals that Antigone is true to his own convictions, while Creon is true to the law.

<h3>Why does the passage reveal this?</h3>
  • Because it shows that Antigone will be punished for breaking the law.
  • Because it shows that Antigone disobeyed the law because he was faithful to his own convictions.
  • Because it shows that Creon has no doubts that Antigone should be punished.

Creon is the king of the place and established the law that was disobeyed by Antigone. Anyone who disobeyed the law would be sentenced to death and Creon does not hesitate to punish Antigone in this way.

Antigone is neither sad nor regretful, as she knows she will die true to her own principles.
