Instructions: select the correct answer. in antigone, antigone defies king creon’s order by burying polyneices honorably. this defiance enrages creon, who is unwilling to tolerate any opposition to his orders. what theme of antigone do the above events reflect? the dangers of civil disobedience and of a violent state loyalty to family versus loyalty to the gods the path of morality versus the path of civil law and order the authority of the community versus the authority of the kingim pretty sure it's not b, and if you think it is b explain why.

In my opinion, the correct answer is C. the path of morality versus the path of civil law and order.

Creon's act of banning Polyneices' burial is understandable from the perspective of a king, who wants to protect his authority and punish all who would challenge it. He is a statesman and protector of the law, which means he must always punish an offender, or it would encourage many more people to break laws. However, Antigone's view is different. She thinks there are higher, divine, ethical laws, that are above any particular interests of state and the king, even if he is her own uncle. Her act depicts her bold determination that won't give way to any earthly authority.

Ithink this is true.
