Answer 1

Creon believes that because of Antigone's stubbornness, she will inevitably face consequences.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the play Antigone by Sophocles, Creon believes that because of Antigone's stubbornness, she will inevitably face consequences. Creon is the ruler of Thebes and has issued a decree that forbids the burial of Antigone's brother, Polyneices. Antigone defies this decree and insists on giving her brother a proper burial, which goes against Creon's authority. As a result of her defiance, Creon believes that she will face punishment or negative consequences for her actions.
