It is with a boasting, disrespectful and stubborn attitude that Antigone is brought before Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone gets what she wishes for. She intends to break her uncle King Creon's law by burying her brother Polyneices and not to fight her death sentence. She makes no excuses for her civil disobedience. She responds to every question in an angry, contradictory, disdainful, insulting tone. She refuses to back down from her disrespect and therefore loses all chance for getting her uncle to rescind his law or lighten or negate her sentence.
The sentry captured Antigone burying Polyneices and brought her to Creon
Antigone tells Creon that she did the right thing and that she is ready to die and join all of her loved ones who are dead
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.

That it is not based on truth is Antigone's motive for refusing Ismene's help in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone has to bury her brother Polyneices on her own. She makes no effort to hide what she is doing. She therefore manages to get captured and brought before her uncle King Creon for interrogation and sentencing. She rejects her sister Ismene's false confession of guilt as too late, too little and untrue.
Devastated by his misdeeds is Creon's attitude in the fifth scene of "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon already experiences before his very eyes the horror of his only surviving child, Prince Haemon, try to kill him and then succeed in killing himself. He makes the trip back to the palace. There he receives the news of the suicide of his wife, Queen Eurydice. The messenger says that Eurydice's last words are of blame and curse as far as Creon is concerned. Creon speaks of looking forward to death because of the pain and suffering brought by him to his family and to all Thebes.
Antigone takes place in ancient Thebes, before the Trojan War.
Bury Polyneices is what Creon does just before finding Antigone dead in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon decides to reverse his actions. He first has the body of his nephew Polyneices buried. He then goes to free Antigone, whom he finds hanging dead from the halter of her own dress.
Critical and supportive are the respective attitudes of the chorus in regard to Antigone and Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus criticizes Theban Princess Antigone for her disrespectful treatment of King Creon and for her uncontrolled passions. In contrast, they do not criticize Creon for the bullying, insults and threats that typify his interactions with Princess Antigone, Prince Haemon and Teiresias the blind prophet. The chorus members therefore show a consistently critical attitude towards Antigone and a uniformly supportive attitude toward 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.
