Answer 1

A. Fate versus free will.

Step-by-step explanation:

The underlying theme or moral of this story is that of fate. This is incorporated through the actions of both Creon and Antigone. The moral also corresponds with a recurring theme of the abuse of power that Creon is more than guilty of. This theme is incorporated in the many words and actions of Creon, the king of Thebes.
