One reversal of the natural order isAntigone's death. The general expectation is the following of an engagement by marriage, children, and then death. But Antigone dies before her engagement can culminate in marriage. Another reversal is Haemon's death. The general expectation is the survival of older parents by healthy adult children. But Haemon kills himself, and therefore dies before Theban Queen Eurydice and Theban King Creon. Still another reversal is the survival of men. The general expectation is the survival of men by the women in their lives. But Antigone dies before beloved first cousin and fiance Haemon, as does Eurydice before Creon.

Why does Creon order Antigone to be locked in a vault in 'Antigone'?

Creon does not order Antigone to be locked in a vault in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon issues an edict that his niece, Princess Antigone, violates. The sentence is death from being pelted with stones thrown by her fellow Thebans. He commutes the sentence to life imprisonment by being walled up in a remote cave. It is Creon's hope that once out of the public sight, Antigone will not serve as a rebellious example to others and will cease to pollute the environment with her contrary behavior and insubordinate ways.


What does Creon ask Antigone in 'Antigone'?

If she is the doer of the deed and if she knws about his non-burial edict are what Creon asks Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, a guard brings Theban Princess Antigone before King Creon and says that she is caught burying her brother Polyneices. Creon is not impressed with his niece but still is unprepared for her civil disobedience. He needs to have a confession of motive and intent in order to sentence Antigone to death.

Are Antigone's and Ismene's appearances discussed in 'Antigone'?

No, there's no discussion at all about Antigone's and Ismene's appearances in 'Antigone'. Sophocles [496 B.C.E.* - 406 B.C.E.] gives readers absolutely no clues as to the sisters' ages or looks. There isn't even a clue as to their exact ages or birth order. But readers may guess that Antigone is the elder sister because of being engaged to be married and because of the confidence with which she handles their interaction.*Before the Christian Era
