A central idea in Part 2 of Antigone is that Creon perceives Antigone’s defiance to be particularly offensive because she is a woman. Which of Creon’s lines from the play most effectively support this idea?

Answer: No woman while I live shall govern me.

Explanation:

After the guard tells Creon that Antigone buried Polyneices, despite the proclamation against that, she acknowledges that it is true, claiming that it is the order of the gods to perform funeral rites for the dead. She even accuses Creon of being a fool.

Creon is angry at her stubbornness, but especially at her having that attitude as a woman, which is evident when he says "no woman while I live shall govern me."
