Review the excerpt:

Messenger: [Eurydice's] curse is upon you for the deaths of both.

Creon: It is right that it should be. I alone am guilty.
I know it, and I say it. Lead me in,
Quickly, friends.
I have neither life nor substance. Lead me in.

Which best explains how this detail helps to develop the plot and establish the theme of "pride goes before the fall"?

A. It introduces a new conflict; it does so by showing that Eurydice was a proud woman whose life was destroyed by the death of her son.

B. It builds suspense over whether Creon will forgive himself; it does so by showing that Creon resolves to kill himself in order to join his wife and son.

C. It resolves the conflict over whether Creon will realize his own flaws; it does so by showing that he realizes his pride, not Eurydice's curse, is to blame for his family's deaths.

D. It introduces a minor conflict; it does so by showing that Creon was too proud to admit Antigone's and Haimon's deaths were his fault, and now he must confess to his wife.
