Antigone clearly states her rationale for acting against Creon’s proclamation. How can you connect her reasoning to the play’s themes so far?

The Chorus, perhaps acting as stand-in gods, passes judgment on both Creon and Antigone at various points throughout the play. At times they seem to underestimate the harm that Creon's decision to punish Antigone will create for many of the characters, but since their job is to uphold Creon's laws they seem torn. They encourage Creon to listen to Haemon and Teiresias when they offer him contrary advice, but the Chorus doesn't offer him any advice of their own. The Chorus also seems to judge Antigone harshly at times, though they do convey sympathy for her plight. They admire her for standing up for what she believes is just, but they condemn her for knowingly breaking a law in the first place. The Chorus's judgment suggests that both Creon and Antigone bear responsibility for the tragic events of the play.

Explanation:

i think that the quotes in paragraph 11 contribute to the development of ideas because it provides a good reasoning of the central idea of the text.
