The lines of this excerpt that emphasizes on the role of fate are:
"What but the thought of our two brothers dead,
The one by Creon graced with funeral rites,

He hath consigned to earth (as fame reports)
With obsequies that use and wont ordain,
So gracing him among the dead below…"
There was a strong belief among ancient Greeks that everything that happened in their lives was determined fate. This was the idea of destiny being controlled by the Gods.
These lines make reference to this idea that man may do things that bring them joy, but fate will sooner or later bring pain and sorrow since man´s final fate is always death. There is also a reference to Antigone's content after burying her brother.
He treats Miranda like his daughter, yet he still uses his magical powers on her so she'll do what he wants.
