This is the reasoning for Antigone not denying that she buried Polynices; she was taking the consequences for what she believed was right and knew it would make her brother and the gods proud (459-540).

I refuse this concept of sacrifice as it turns women into sad, depressed, and bitter creatures that are so drained that they have nothing left to offer. We must sacrifice but towards happiness, not towards duty.
