She ends their interaction saying that Antigone is dear to her. It is brave of her to want to join Antigone. She may be doing it because of the hopelessness of the situation.

Acceptance of responsibility is Antigone's reaction to being charged with her crime in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone makes two decisions at the beginning of the play. She will obey divine will by burying her brother Polyneices even though that act is forbidden by her uncle King Creon's edict of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. She will take responsibility for her act in not doing it secretively and in not contecting its mandatory death sentence.


What does Antigone say about the true feelings of the chorus in 'Antigone'?

That they feel the way that she does but dare not contradict Creon is what Antigone says about the true feelings of the chorus in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone stands alone in her open defiance of King Creon's person and his laws. But she represents her view as that of the silent majority. She points to the chorus of Theban elders and to the Theban people as subjects who oppose the non-burial edict but hesitate to brave her uncle's fierce, swift temper.
