Packed into cattle cars, the Jews are tormented by nearly unbearable conditions. There is almost no air to breathe, the heat is intense, there is no room to sit, and everyone is hungry and thirsty. In their fear, the Jews begin to lose their sense of public decorum. Some men and women begin to flirt openly on the train as though they were alone, while others pretend not to notice. After days of travel in these inhuman conditions, the train arrives at the Czechoslovakian border, and the Jews realize that they are not simply being relocated. A German officer takes official charge of the train, threatening to shoot any Jew who refuses to yield his or her valuables and to exterminate everybody in the car if anybody escapes. The doors to the car are nailed shut, further preventing escape.
Let's eliminate some answers first. In this passage, Antigone is not proud of her family's name or history; she does not mention heroic deeds of her family, nor does she refer to her family's fame. She also does not mention the impossibility of having a child or husband (even though in this scene she is closed in the grave). No mention is made of the way her family members died and thus we cannot guess whether they had a noble one or not. She also does not put her family above anything else; she explicitly states that she would not do this for her own child or husband but that she would respect the state.
In this excerpt, Antigone remembers how she buried her loved ones, but it is in a loving way, knowing that she is going to meet them soon since she is facing the death penalty.
