Answer:

Creon’s conscience

Step-by-step explanation:

Creon was the king and had determined that the body of Polinices (Antigone's brother) should not be buried or receive any burial ritual, because he was a traitor to the nation.

Antigone is extremely sad, for she believes that burial rituals are a heavenly law necessary for her brother's soul to rest in peace. For that reason, she disobeys Creon's law and buries her hidden brother.

The guards tell Creon that Polinices' body was veiled, although he had no clue who did it. Creon's conscience soon points out that the one who watched over Polinices' body was Antigone, so he orders the guards to arrest her.
