Antigone

One quote that I liked from a passage in Antigone was "The time I’ll have to please the dead is far longer than the time I have to please the living." Im not sure if Im reading more into this than I should be, but I thought this quote meant more then just honoring the gods. To me, Antigone was also saying that if she did not give her brother the respect he deserved or the proper burial then it would bother her consious. And that is a very noble thing to do. Even though she could get into a lot of trouble, she still will do the right thing.
