The issuing of a royal decree that contradicts the will of the gods by not respecting her brother Polyneices' god given rights to below ground burial and funeral services is what upsets Antigone.

Who was Antigone's lover?

Antigone was (engaged to?) Haemon, Creon's son, which is why he was so upset when she died.


What does Ismene do when she is brought before Creon in 'Antigone'?

Claim that she helps Antigone bury Polyneices is what Ismene does when she is brought before Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Ismene behaves in a way that is uncharacteristically out of control. She is misinterpreted as being upset over breaking her uncle King Creon's law instead of over her sister Princess Antigone's capture. She mixes things up further when she confesses to helping Antigone bury their brother Polyneices even though her sister says it is not so.


What are the consequences for Creon when he issues the edict against burial in Antigone?

Creon makes the decision that honoring Polyneices in any way would be dangerous for Thebes, so he makes the edict forbidding the burial. When he finds out that Antigone has broken the edict, he makes another choice-to enforce the edict, despite the citizens' suspicion that he is wrong. Creon must face the consequences when first Antigone, then Haimon, and finally Eurydice die, each at their own hand.


What does Antigone make clear to Creon in 'Antigone'?

That it is she who defies him and his law is what Antigone makes clear to Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone does not deny or diminish her civil law breaking activities. She lets her uncle King Creon know how accomplished she feels about burying her brother Polyneices, disobeying the unjust edict of non-burial and expecting punishment in full from someone she so dislikes and disrespects.


What does Creon first think of Ismene in 'Antigone'?

That she has a lifelong, proven track record for wisdom but must be guilty because she is so upset is what Creon first thinks of Ismene in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon observes during Princess Antigone's trial that the latter has a lifelong track record for foolishness. But at the same time, he makes the comment that Princess Ismene is the opposite. He nevertheless considers the possibility of guilt since Ismene is showing herself to be quite distraught, and therefore to Creon's way of thinking quite guilty.

How does Creon show 'atΔ“' in 'Antigone'?

It is when he responds with anger to Antigone, Haemon, Ismene and Teiresias that Creon shows atē in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, atē describes the giving in to foolish, ruinous impulses. Theban King Creon does so when he responds angrily to Princess Antigone's and Prince Haemon's disrespectful behaviors. He has the greater responsibility to salvage the interactions but instead makes things worse. He likewise lacks restraint when he jumps to conclusions about his wise niece, Princess Ismene, being upset and about the impartial insights of Thebes' wisest resident, Teiresias the blind prophet.

Why is Antigone so determined to bury her brother in 'Antigone'?

That she fears divine wrath and that family is irreplaceable are the reasons why Antigone is so determined to bury her brother in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone recognizes that divine wrath can makes a mortal miserable in this life and the next. She knows that burial and funeral rites are guaranteed by the gods and therefore not to be fooled with. Additionally, she says that both her parents are dead, and so she only has the siblings that she already has. No more siblings are forthcoming, and she is going to have to be able to look her family in the face when they all meet in the Underworld of the afterlife.


What do the other characters of antigone think of antigone?

Creon thinks that Antigone is a mad (crazy), annoying woman, and should obey men. Haemon is Antigone's future wife, and is so mad at his father for sentencing her to death that he plunges a sword into his own body. Ismene is Antigone's older sister, so she is scared of her sister dying.
