Answer: Sophocles includes Eurydice's death (D.) to suggest how severely those who disobey the gods will be punished.

Explanation: In Sophocles' Antigone, Eurydice is the wife of Creon, who is the king of Thebes. When she finds out that her son Haemon committed s(u)icide after discovering that Antigone, her lover, hanged herself, Eurydice also kills herself. All of these deaths are a consequence of Creon's attitude. Throughout the play, Creon behaves as an arrogant and proud man, especially when he goes against divine law by prohibiting everyone to bury Polyneices and ordering Antigone's execution. In that way, during the play, Creon challenges and disobeys the gods. As a result, the gods punish him with the deaths of his son and wife.
