That one heroine rebels and dies while the other suffers in silence but has her revenge is the difference between "Antigone" by Sophocles and "Ghosts" by Henrik Ibsen (March 20, 1828 - May 23, 1906).

Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone braves her uncle King Creon's despotism long enough to get her brother Polyneices buried and to let him know what she thinks of his godless policies. She does not survive her rebellion since she hangs herself before her uncle's sentence of live burial and starvation runs its course. In contrast, Helen Alving has the ultimate revenge for years of suffering in silence from her husband's abuse and fooling around. She pretends to honor his memory by building an orphanage. But in fact she spends the money so that there will be none left for her husband's syphilitic son.
