How do the archetypes in these passages support the

universal theme that one's values are worth risking
one's life for?
Both Antigone and Boadicea are warriors who
decide to go to war for what they believe is right.
Both Antigone and Boadicea are heroes who go to
battle against their enemies.
Both Antigone and Boadicea are heroines who
choose their values over their lives, knowing they
may die in the process.
Both Antigone and Boadicea are villains who
transgress the law in order to fight for their values.

Answer:

Both Antigone and Boadicea are heroines who choose their values over their lives, knowing they may die in the process.

Step-by-step explanation:

Archetypes are those patterns or models from which things are copied or taken after. It is, in a way, the universal symbol of a theme or setting or anything related to a particular idea.

The universal theme of "one's values [is] worth risking one's life for" is relevant for the characters of Antigone and Boadicea in both of these female characters. Antigone chose family ties in choosing to bury her brother over the orders of her king while Boadicea led her people to revolt against the Roman conquerors after the death of her husband.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
