King Creon wants undying loyalty but Antigone is being loyal to her brother and loyal to what she thinks it correct. He isn’t sure what the right thing to do is but he is headstrong and is going to go through with what he said. (It’s been awhile I’m sorry if this isn’t 100% spot on)
A. He reflects back and describes his initial optimism of the war.
Everyone initially feels that optimism going into a battle. The idea of victory is something easy to see. But it gives the idea that possibly it may not turn out exactly as he hopes in the final sentence.
The correct answer is:
What would happen if love didn’t die?
An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone as a sentence. When you read the sentence "what would happen if love didn’t die? you could use it as a sentence by itself, doesn't need any complement to make sense. On the other hand, the sentence "If the poem is about going mad when love is lost," is the dependent clause, because it needs a complementary sentence to complete the idea.
