Antigone feels a strong sense of duty and determination to bury her brother, even in the face of potential consequences. She believes it is her sacred duty to give him a proper burial, despite the law forbidding it. In the play, Antigone states, "I will bury him; and if I must die, I say that this crime is holy: I shall lie down with him in death, and I shall be as dear to him as he is to me" (Lines 85-87). This statement demonstrates her unwavering commitment to honoring her brother and her willingness to accept whatever consequences may come as a result of her actions.
