Which event most likely led to Creon’s insight in Antigone?

Creon’s conscience

Creon’s conscience

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.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
