Antigone does not confess to burying her brother.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks to evaluate the statement: 'Antigone does not confess to burying her brother.'
Option 1: True
- This would assert that Antigone never admits to burying Polynices. In the play, Antigone’s act of burying Polynices is explicit defiance of Creon’s edict, and when questioned, she articulates the deed as an act of obedience to divine law and admits to the burial in the sense of having carried out the act. Therefore, claiming she does not confess to the burial contradicts the events of the text.
Option 2: False
- This option asserts that the statement 'Antigone does not confess to burying her brother' is not accurate, meaning Antigone does confess to the burial. Since the drama presents Antigone as openly opposing Creon’s decree and asserting the violation of the law by burying Polynices, she effectively acknowledges the burial and her role in it within the dialogue with Creon and others. Thus, describing the statement as false aligns with the events where her act and stance are declared openly.
In summary, the idea that she does not confess to burying her brother is not consistent with the play’s depiction of her actions and statements; the narrative presents her as admitting or at least affirming the burial in opposition to Creon’s command, which makes the statement false.
