Breaking the law and dying are what Antigone plans to do in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon issues an edict that changes god-given rights of below-ground burials into arbitrary privileges to be bestowed upon his supporters and denied to his enemies. Creon's niece, Princess Antigone, plans to bury her brother Polyneices even though the edict demands that his body be left above ground to feed birds and dogs. She likewise plans to die in the way specified by the death penalty or by her own hands.
Antigone tells her to tell everyone she doesn't care.
Antigone's plan to bury her brother Polyneices is dangerous. It's against the law to give a proper burial to the dead among the Argive enemy and their traitorous Theban allies. It's a difficult job to do. Antigone asks for her sister Ismene's help, which isn't forthcoming. The punishment is death by stoning.
No.Because she scare to break the law of KING Creon.
Love is the emotion that most likely causes Ismene to want to join Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Ismene argues against her sister Princess Antigone's burying their brother Polyneices out of fear of the lethal punishment. She ends their interaction saying that Antigone is dear to her. It is brave of her to want to join Antigone. She may be doing it because of the hopelessness of the situation. Or she may be doing it in the hopes of extenuating circumstances, leniency or outright pardon from their uncle, King Creon.
That this is exactly according to plan and that she accepts responsibility for her act the moment that she decides to carry it out is the reason why Antigone is not ashamed when she has to go before Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone decides that she will break her uncle King Creon's law. She knows that her civil disobedience carries a death sentence. She takes responsibility for her act and its punishment.

The decision to spare Ismene is the change that Theban King Creon makes in his plan to kill Antigone and Ismene. Antigone is found breaking the law of non burial to the disloyal Theban dead. Ismene isn't. But Ismene claims that she's an accessory. At first, Creon decides that the death sentence is going to be carried out against both of his nieces. But he then backs down, and decides the only his future daughter-in-law Antigone is going to be executed.
That she will bury her brother is Antigone's decision in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone sets in motion a series of decisions when she decides that she will bury her brother Polyneices. In so doing, she decides to obey a divine law and disobey a royal edict. She then decides not to be nice to Creon and thereby to make sure of receiving the death sentence for her crime.
That she is the main character is the reason why Antigone is the protagonist in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the protagonist is the main character around whom the play's action revolves. The protagonist is heroic in doing good deeds. This describes Antigone, who is both the main character and the principal female character. She does good deeds, because she respects her family, the gods and Theban traditions.
Give him a proper burial and Theban-stylefuneral rites is what Antigone plans to do with Polyneices in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the gods guarantee all Thebans of below-ground burials and funeral rites. Theban Princess Antigone's brother Polyneices is being denied these rights by a law recently issued by Antigone's uncle, King Creon. Antigone plans to give Polyneices a below-ground burial if her sister Ismene helps or a partial burial if Ismene refuses. Either way, Polyneices' body will be considered buried in compliance with Theban traditions.
If Antigone disobeys Creon's Law in "Antigone," Antigone is to be sentenced to death.
