Antigone was captured after she tried to bury her brother for a third time.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The statement concerns the timeline of Antigone being captured after attempting to bury her brother a third time. 
Option 1: True. This would assert that Antigone made three separate burial attempts and was caught after the third. Classic summaries of the play do not depict a sequence of three distinct attempts leading to capture; instead, Antigone is caught in the act of burying Polynices, which leads directly to her confrontation with Creon. Thus, labeling the event as a ‘third time’ is inaccurate. 
Option 2: False. In the play, Antigone’s act of burying Polynices is discovered when she is found performing the burial rites, and there isn’t a narrative emphasis on three distinct attempts. The key point is that she is arrested for defying Creon’s edict, not for a third burial attempt. Therefore, this option correctly identifies the statement as incorrect. 
Overall, the claim that she was captured after a third burying attempt misstates the sequence of events, and the safer reading aligns with the standard account where the act of burial is discovered and punished, rather than a staged series of three attempts.
