1. Creon says of Antigone:

“…of all the people in this city, only she
Has had contempt for my laws and broken it.”
Is this true? Why or why not?

That is true, because she was the only one to understand the importance of divine laws as opposed to Creon's civil laws. He forbade her to give her brother a proper burial because he was a traitor, but she understood that it needed to be done so that he could be allowed to go to heaven, perhaps. The other people were afraid of Creon, and didn't want to interfere with his laws.
