Go back to check on her work and get arrested for reburial are what Antigone does after burying her brother's body in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone announces to her sister Ismene at the play's beginning that she will break the law, bury her brother, and expect to be caught and punished. She buries her brother, and no one is the wiser. She returns to the burial site, finds her brother's exposed corpse, attempts to rebury him, and accepts her arrest and death sentence.

No, Antigone and Ismene are not both afraid to bury their brother in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone does not fear death. She therefore does not fear risking the death sentence by breaking the law and burying her disgraced brother Polyneices. But her courage is not echoed by her sister, Princess Ismene, who fears being found out and punished to death.

Planting or burying something in the ground and covering it with dirt is called "burying" or "planting."
That she is going to deliberately disobey a royal edict that carries a death sentence is what Antigone tells Ismene that she will do in the opening scene of "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon issues an edict against the proper, Theban-style mourning and burying of the disloyal dead. With that edict, he justifies burying his loyal nephew Eteocles and not burying his disloyal nephew Polyneices. But Creon's niece, Theban Princess Antigone, plans to disobey the non-burial law and give her brother Polyneices the same respect in death as her brother Eteocles.
