Answer: Antigone believed that was the moral thing to do
Explanation:
From the story, we are told that Antigone had two brothers, who were named Polyneices and Eteocles. After the exile of their father from Thebes, the throne was to be split by the brothers.
Eteocles refused giving up power which led to a battle between him and Polyneices which resulted in the death of the brothers. Thus led to their uncle named Creon to be in line for the throne.
Creon decreed that Polyneices shouldn't be buried as hid body should be left to rot in the street because he was a traitor and that anyone who plans to give him a proper burial will punished by death.
Antigone went against the order and buried his brother as she believes that was the right thing to do. Antigone later admitted what she has done even
though she knows Creon will punish her because she believed that was the moral thing to do.
