The main idea of this passage from Antigone is 1) honor. Antigone is talking about her own death that she is ready to welcome. She is sent to death because she decided to bury Polyneices, despite Creon's orders. She is certain she has done nothing wrong and she is ready to die an honorable death. She thinks that she will meet her brother again, in the afterlife.
