Antigone is responsible for her own actions, which result from her own decisions. She is the decider of action versus inaction, disobedience versus obedience, passion versus reasoned discussion. She knows that she is disobeying her uncle Theban King Creon's law of non burial. She knows that disobedience carries a death sentence. She accepts both the responsibility for burying her brother Polyneices, and the likelihood of her execution.
