Egeus wants to bury his daughter, Hermia, alive because she defies his wishes by refusing to marry Demetrius, the suitor he has chosen for her. In Athenian law, a father has the authority to decide his daughter's fate, and Egeus feels dishonored by Hermia's rebellion. He believes that her punishment is justified as a means of enforcing obedience and upholding his authority. This extreme consequence reflects the rigid societal norms and the severity of parental control in the context of the play.

Should you bury a fish?
You can if you want. However, the proper thing is flush him/her down the toilet, because that's what everyone does! :) ANS #2 Burial is for the benefit of the survivors. If it helps to overcome the loss, the fish ought to be buried. It is just as appropriate to convince the bereaved that burial at sea is a fitting interment. If you are convincing, you can bury the fish with a flush.

What conflict does egeus's first long speech establish in scene 1?
Demetrius and Egeus want Hermia to marry Demetrius. Hemia and Lysander want Hermia to marry Lysander. The speech also puts this into a broader perspective: Egeus believes that Hermia is a piece of his property, like a dining room table. "As she is mine, so may I dispose of her." Hermia and Lysander both advance the proposition that she is a person who should have the right and freedom to choose for herself. This is the conflict between and older and newer attitude to the relationship between parents and children, and to concepts of arranged marriages based on practical concerns as opposed to marriages based on love. We see similar conflicts, for example, in the musical Fiddler on the Roof. There are further conflicts which become apparent in this scene. Egeus invokes a law which supports his traditional view of his rights as a father. The Duke has to choose between the weight of tradition which lends authority to the rule of law, and new attitudes which demand a change in obsolete legislation. In some productions, Hippolyta, silently standing by, is shown to be sympathetic to Hermia and Lysander and to expect Theseus to change the law. In this way the internal conflict Theseus faces is expanded to an external one between him and Hippolyta.
