Ophocles intertwines the themes of death and marriage in Antigone. Which lines in this excerpt from the play best bring out the

correlation of death and marriage?
ANTIGONE:
Friends, countrymen, my last farewell I make;
My journey's done.
One last fond, lingering, longing look I take
At the bright sun.
For Death who puts to sleep both young and old
Hales my young life,
And beckons me to Acheron's dark fold,
An unwed wife.
No maids have strewn with flowers from the lea,
'Tis Death I wed.
