When faced with the decision to obey the King or obey her heart, she says on page 23, in lines 86-90: "I will bury him myself./If I die for doing that, good:/I will stay with him, brother;/and my crime will be devotion." This decision, to bury her brother, was very heroic in that even though she knew death was at stake, she knew where her loyalties lied. On page 39, lines 560-575, Antigone stands up to her uncle and tells him to his face that he has disobeyed the Gods decrees. In line 562, 563, and 564 she says: "I did not intend to pay, before the gods,/for breaking these laws/because of my fear of one man and his principles." Antigone accuses Kreon of overstepping the laws of the gods, by relying on his own thinking. As is brought out later, Kreon never listened to other peoples advice until it was too late. In the above passage Antigone heroically faces up to the most powerful man, the King, knowing he could kill her in

Moreover, Great Creator You Gave me The Greatest 44 Attribute – The Even-Coloured Skin – To
plausible syntactic theories. Objections to the Davidsonian version Objection 1 Like the Verification Theory, the Truth-Condition Theory seems to apply only to descriptive, fact-stating language; questions and commands and so on are not true or false at all. A weak reply Although we do not ordinarily call questions or commands "true" and "false," they do have bipolar, truth-like semantic values. A question is correctly answered "yes" or "no"; a command is obeyed or disobeyed. Intuitively, a nondeclarative sentence corresponds to a state of affairs that may or may not obtain, even though its function is not to describe or report that state of affairs. And for semantical purposes we may as well treat those semantic values as truth-values. For example, a command is "true" if it does in fact go on to be obeyed, "false" if it does not. Of course this is a nonstandard use of "true" and "false"; we are widening their application to all semantic bipolarity
