Question

read the excerpt from \the royal house of thebes.\ some hours later, creon in the palace was startled by a shout, \against your orders polyneices has been buried.\ he hurried out to be confronted with the guards he had set on the dead body and with antigone. \this girl buried him,\ they cried. \we saw her. a thick dust - storm gave her her chance. when it cleared, the body had been buried and the girl was making an offering to the dead.\ \you knew my edict?\ creon asked. \yes,\ antigone replied. \and you transgressed the law?\ \your law, but not the law of justice who dwells with the gods,\ antigone said. \the unwritten laws of heaven are not of today nor yesterday, but from all time.\ which characteristics of archetypes best describe antigone? select three options. ☐ she lives by her own moral code. ☐ she does something evil. ☐ she sacrifices herself for her values. ☐ she teaches people who are younger. ☐ she is forced to make a difficult decision.

Explanation:

1. "She lives by her own moral code": Antigone follows the "law of Justice who dwells with the gods" rather than Creon's edict, showing she has her own moral code.
2. "She sacrifices herself for her values": She disobeys Creon's order to bury her brother, knowing the consequences, which is a sacrifice for her belief in divine justice.
3. "She is forced to make a difficult decision": She has to choose between obeying Creon's human law or the divine law she believes in, a tough choice.

The other options are incorrect: she doesn't do evil, and there's no mention of her teaching younger people.

Answer:

• She lives by her own moral code.
• She sacrifices herself for her values.
• She is forced to make a difficult decision.
