Slight and young are Antigone's physical attributes in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, the ancient dramatist does not describe Theban Princess Antigone. But she has to be young because she is engaged but not yet a wife or mother. She also has to be slight since she is not strong enough to give her brother Polyneices anything other than a partial burial under a layer of dust.

Why does Antigone refuse to permit Ismene to share responsibility for burying Polyneices in 'Antigone'?

That it is a lie is the reason why Antigone refuses to permit Ismene to share responsibility for burying Polyneices in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigones asks her sister Ismene to help give their brother Polyneices' body a proper below-ground burial. Ismene refuses out of fear of the death penalty for breaking one of their uncle King Creon's laws. Antigone seeks capture for giving Polyneices a partial burial under a layer of dust because the royal law contradicts divine will and Theban traditions. She wants to make a statement in suffering the consequences and not to have anything to do with a sister whom she considers base.
