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" (heaven's laws) over Creon's edict, showing her own moral code.
2. "She sacrifices herself for her values": Burying Polyneices despite Creon's order risks her life, sacrificing for her belief in proper burial rights.
3. "She is forced to make a difficult decision": She must choose between obeying Creon (and ignoring her moral duty) or following her values (and defying the king).

The other options are incorrect: she does not do evil, nor does she teach the younger.

Answer:

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