What does Antigone say that her sister has no right to do in 'Antigone'?
That Ismene has no right to share in the blame or the punishment is what Antigone says in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone deliberately breaks a royal edict that honors god-given rights to a below-ground burial for her brother Eteocles but denies them to her brother Polyneices. She asks Ismene for help in burying Polyneices and is turned down. At her trial and sentencing, she announces that she alone deserves punishment since Ismene is innocent of being an accessory to a crime for which she therefore deserves neither blame nor punishment.
How does Creon believe the act of burying Polyneices was carried out?
Theban King Creon believes that Thebans who oppose his rule are behind the burying of Polyneices. Polyneices was Creon's nephew. But he invaded Thebes, and therefore is considered by the King to be disloyal and unworthy of god given rights to proper burial rites and rituals.
What is the penalty for burying Polyneices in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Execution is the penalty for burying Polyneices in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon announces an edict of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. He insists that the penalty must be death. The penalty is outlined in the law as death under a shower of heavy, sharp rocks thrown by fellow Thebans.
Whose opinion is changed about burying Polyneices in 'Antigone'?
Creon changes his opinion about burying Polyneices in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon begins the play ordering that his nephew Polyneices' body be left above-ground. Princess Antigone, Prince Haemon and Teiresias the blind prophet each attempt to get Creon to change his mind and reverse his actions. But the ever stubborn Creon acts upon making the changes only after consuming Polyneices' blood and flesh pollutes the birds offered as ritual sacrifices and thereby angers the gods even further.
