Question 141786 • FL-1001340-English 2 Sem 1 - Flex

How does Antigone as the archetype of a tragic heroine support the theme that "divine law is higher than mortal law”?

Answer
A
She sacrifices herself for her beliefs.
B
She openly admits her guilt to Creon.
C
She is more superstitious about burials.
D
She is physically stronger than most women.

Explanation

Antigone knowingly risks death because she believes the gods’ laws require her to bury her brother, even though Creon’s mortal law forbids it. Her willingness to sacrifice herself for that belief shows that she places divine law above human authority. The correct choice is “She sacrifices herself for her beliefs.”
