This passage made it known that there is a law that forbids the process or step of touching the dead let alone bury them. I think maybe the law binds the citizens except the appointed people for the job.
But in this case, Antigone refused to obey the set down rule in order to be loyal to her family. This is because the person involved was her brother.
Judging from his dialogue, choose the reason Antigone has for her decision in this passage.
A) childish rebelliousness
B) personal ambition
C) love of country
D) family loyal
Solution:
D) Family Loyalty
Explanation:
Antigone would go ahead to bury her dead brother despite Creon's order not to because she is loyal to her family. In her own words, Creon "hath no right to bar me from mine own."
Family loyalty unites family members. Family loyalty does not respect the opinion and orders of outsiders. It is the first loyalty that a human being owns to her family. It comes first before loyalty to the community. To betray family loyalty is treacherous. Antigone would not like to be considered a traitress to her kin.
