What does Antigone say that her sister has no right to do in 'Antigone'?
That Ismene has no right to share in the blame or the punishment is what Antigone says in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone deliberately breaks a royal edict that honors god-given rights to a below-ground burial for her brother Eteocles but denies them to her brother Polyneices. She asks Ismene for help in burying Polyneices and is turned down. At her trial and sentencing, she announces that she alone deserves punishment since Ismene is innocent of being an accessory to a crime for which she therefore deserves neither blame nor punishment.
Whom does Antigone blame for her terrible misfortune?
Antigone makes one direct and two indirect accusations of blame for her terrible misfortune. The direct accusation is placed upon her dead brother Polyneices. For example, she sighs, 'Alas, my brother, ill-starred in thy marriage, in thy death thou hast undone my life'. She also specifies, 'And now, Polyneices, 'tis for tending thy corpse that I win such [deadly] recompense as this'.Her uncle, Theban King Creon, issues a decree that contradicts the will of the gods and the traditions of Thebes' citizens. He refuses to allow proper funerary procedures for those Thebans who in dying betray their city. Antigone therefore is faced with the sorrowful decision of whether to see that the corpse of the disloyal Polyneices gets the same god guaranteed funerary treatment as that of his loyal twin brother, Eteocles. But equal treatment of loyalists and traitors carries an automatic death sentence.Indirectly, Antigone also blames her family background and the underworld gods. For example, she suggests that her miserable fate may be linked to her descent from the god cursed Theban King Labdacus whose granddaughter and great granddaughter she is. She likewise suggests a cursed fate due to her incestuous descent from Theban King Oedipus, who is her father; and from Theban Queen Jocasta, who is both her mother and her grandmother.Antigone blames too the will of the gods. She finds irony in her passionate defense of god given rights and rituals. Specifically, she describes herself as being sentenced to death precisely because she refuses to disrespect the underworld realm of the gods of death, in Hades.
What is the chorus' reaction to Antigone's plight in her final scene in 'Antigone'?
That she is to blame for her own predicament is the chorus' reaction to Antigone's plight in her final scene in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus reminds Theban Princess Antigone of her own choices. They say that respect for the gods is important, but does not entail offense to royal rulers. They state that Antigone's willful spirit and uncontrolled passion put her on the road to her death by live burial.

What does it means to dream someone knowingly gave you aids?
This dream appears to express the need to place blame (responsibility) for some misfortune onto someone other than the dreamer's own self. The specific disease of Aids is probably an exaggerated symbol for something regarded as a terrible, undeserved consequence of somewhat reckless behavior.
