The decision or non decision about the differential treatment of her brothers is the effect that Theban King Creon's decision has on Antigone. Creon says that only those who die loyal to Thebes may be granted complete and proper burials. Those who die disloyal to their hometown may not have their god given rights honored.
Antigone's brother Eteocles dies loyal to Thebes. But her other brother, Polyneices, dies on the losing, treacherous side. Creon plans to have Eteocles buried. He plans to leave Polyneices' corpse above ground, to the workings of the weather and wildlife.
