URGENT PLS ANSER!!!

What are Antigone's goals, why are they important to her, and how and why is she being disobedient? How does Sophocles use words and character development to convey this?​

Answer:

Antígona wants to bury the body of Polinices, her dead brother since this is a way for his soul to reach the underworld. But Creon, king, imposes the prohibition of making funeral rites to the body.

In the end, she tries to bury him but is discovered and sentenced to death.

Sofocles develops two notions of duty: the familiar and the civil, which he develops in tragic acts .
