What rites does Antigone perform for her dead brother in 'Antigone'?
Proper, Theban-style funeral rites are the rites performed by Antigone for her dead brother in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone gives the body of her dead brother Polyneices a Theban burial. The burial is supposed to be below-ground. But Antigone lacks the strength for anything other than a partial burial, by which the body remains above ground, but covered with a layer of dust. Whether complete or partial, the burial must be accompanied by anointing with sacred liquid from a special ewer. Then the body will be considered as having received a proper, Theban-style burial and funeral rites.
Is Antigone careless when she buries her brother in 'Antigone'?
Yes, Antigone is careless when she buries her brother in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is careful when she buries her brother Polyneices the first time, before King Creon publicly announces his non-burial edict to the chorus of Theban elders. Because she has no help, she gives her brother a partial burial, whereby the body is left above ground but covered with a layer of dust. What is careless is the second, re-burial attempt when Antigone makes no effort to check for guards or to cloak what she is doing.
When does Antigone say 'I intend to give my brother burial I'll be glad to die in the attempt' in 'Antigone'?
It is in the opening scene that Antigone expresses her intention to give her brother burial without fear of dying in the attempt in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the play begins with the meeting of the sister Theban Princesses Antigone and Ismene. Antigone discusses the edict of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. She makes the decision that she will break the law and bury her brother even though the violation carries the death penalty.
Why did Antigone buried her brothers body?
Because she couldn't bear to let her brother just rot without some sort of burial ceremony for him while her other brother gets the full treatment.

Does Antigone use a shovel to bury her brother in 'Antigone'?
No, Antigone does not use a shovel to bury her brother in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone uses just her hands to bury her brother Polyneices. She says that with her sister Ismene's help she can give their brother a below-ground burial. Without her help, Antigone just has enough strength for a partial burial, whereby the body is left above ground and covered with a layer of dust.
