The sentry is afraid to bring news of the burial to Creon because he fears punishment for failing to prevent it, as Creon has strictly prohibited the burial of Polyneices. His fears are justified, given Creon's harsh stance on disobedience. When the sentry finally reports the news, Creon accuses him of being complicit in the act, suggesting that if he had done his job properly, the burial would not have occurred. This accusation reflects Creon's paranoia and desire to maintain control over the situation.

By targeting Ismene, Creon aims to eliminate any potential support for Antigone and reinforce his authority. This act also underscores the themes of loyalty and the consequences of defiance in the play.
