Antigone

Since I was absent on the day that everyone was assigned to write the quote explaining the character in Antigone, I'm going to do it today, even though I'm 4 days late. 

The quote I would use to portray Antigone is the following quote that she says to her sister:

"My death will be sweet once I bury him, because I will be lying next to him the underworld, having committed such a sacred crime."

I think that this quote shows Antigone's devotion and love for her brother. She doesn't care about paying the toll of possibly her own death to simply be able to bury her dead brother who she believes deserves a proper burial just like her other brother. Her selfless act shows me that she is just a loving younger sister who just wants her brother to rest in peace.
