This question is for the play Antigone

Question

From reading Ode 4, I know that the answer is not A or B. Personally, I think it is D, but whenever I look online most people are saying it is C.
can someone help please???

Answer 1

Here is all of Ode 4:

All Danae’s beauty was locked away
In a brazen cell where the sunlight could not come:
A small room, still as any grave, enclosed her.
Yet she was a princess too,
And Zeus in a rain of gold poured love upon her.
O child, child,
No power in wealth or war
Or tough sea-blackened ships
Can prevail against untiring Destiny![Antistrophe 1]
And Dryas’ son
Also, that furious king,
Bore the god’s prisoning anger for his pride:
Sealed up by Dionysos in deaf stone,
His madness died among echoes.
So at the last he learned what dreadful power
His tongue had mocked:
For he had profaned the revels,
And fired the wrath of the nine
Implacable Sisters
That love the sound of the flute.[Strophe 2]
And old men tell a half-remembered tale
Of horror done where a dark ledge splits the sea
And a double surf beats on the gray shores:
How a king’s new woman, sick
With hatred for the queen he had imprisoned,
Ripped out his two son’s eyes with her bloody hands
While grinning Ares watched the shuttle plunge
Four times: four blind wounds crying for revenge,[Antistrophe 2]
Crying, tears and blood mingled, ––Piteously born,
Those sons whose mother was of heavenly birth!
Her father was the god of the North Wind
And she was cradled by gales,
She raced with young colts on the glittering hills
And walked untrammeled in the open light:
But in her marriage deathless Fate found means
To build a tomb like yours for all her joy.

Answer 2

Her father was the god of the North Wind
And she was cradled by gales,

...deathless Fate found means
To build a tomb...

What do you think? Is Fate something that is inevitable, determined by something beyond one's own control? https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fate

Answer 3

I think fate is inevitable and beyond one's control. Judging from this, would the answer be C. the family curse?

Answer 4

It might well be. I think so. Keep in mind, too, that there may be disagreement. Art, whether a play or a painting (whatever) means something somewhat different to each observer. Since this is multiple choice, though, only one answer will be considered correct. When the chorus, speaking for Euripides, brings in Fate, though, I think he meant the family legacy.
