Question

(Antigone) Creon says that Antigone is "of all the people in this city, only she/Has had contempt for my laws and broken it." Why is this not true?
A. Antigone is the only person to disagree to Creon's face.
B. Ismene believes her brother should be buried, which is against the edict.
C. Harmon says he has heard people talk about how they disagree with the edict. D. All of the above

Answer 1

The answer is D. all of the above, because while Antigone is the only one to openly defy Creon and disagree with him to his face, she is not the only one who has contempt for his laws. Ismene, Antigone's sister, also disagrees with the law, but she does not act upon it like her sister did. Haemon also disagrees with Creon, his father and Antigone's betrothed, because he honors the laws of the Gods above the laws of man, he does tell his father he ahs heard other people complaining about the edict. In the end, Haemon kills himself for being conflicted about his love and his father, his mother kills herself for losing her son, and Antigone kills herself to avoid being buried alive for disobeying Creon.
