Question 1
[Passage 1: Adapted from Sophocles' classic tragedy 'Antigone'] ANTIGONE: Is Creon not our ruler? Has he not proclaimed that one brother shall be buried with high honor, while the other is left unmourned, unburied, a prey for scavenging birds? I will not leave Polyneices unburied, for he is my brother. No mortal decree can override the unwritten, unfailing laws of heaven. They were not born today or yesterday; they live forever, and no man knows when they first came into being. CREON: The state cannot honor the traitor equally with the defender of the realm. A man who breaks the law to impose his own will destroys the fabric of civic order. Anarchy is the greatest evil that afflicts human society; it destroys cities, turns homes into ruins, and breaks the ranks of soldiers in battle. Obedience to lawful authority alone preserves the welfare of the people. Based on Passage 1, what is the central conflict between Antigone and Creon?
Correct Answer:
A fundamental clash between divine moral law and state civic authority
