A central idea in Antigone is that women are not equal to men and therefore should not have influence over men.
Which passage from Part 3 of Antigone best supports this idea?
Antigone, Part 3
A) We must obey whatever man the city puts in charge, no matter what the issue—great or small, just or unjust. For there’s no greater evil than a lack of leadership.
B) But anyone who’s proud and violates our laws or thinks he’ll tell our leaders what to do, a man like that wins no praise from me.
C) The man who acts well with his household will be found a just man in the city. I’d trust such a man to govern wisely or to be content with someone ruling him.
D) That’s why they must support those in control, and never let some woman beat us down. If we must fall from power, let that come at some man’s hand—at least, we won’t be called inferior to any woman.
