Was Antigone right to pursue the burial of her brother? Why was this

important to her and do you think she regretted her actions based on the
outcome of the play?

“Even though it was forbidden, Antigone decided to defy the state's law and give her brother a burial. Antigone was right to defy King Creon because she had the right to bury her brother and her brother deserved a respectful burial so they could honor their family. Every person deserves a respectful burial.”

I remember reading the story, but I wasn’t sure how to put it into words myself, so here’s a quote from dejaswiley.wordpress.com see if that helps.
