Antigone #2

3. Antigone' refusal to allow Ismene to share her guilt



Antigone refused to let Ismene share her guilt because Ismene did not help her to bury their brother. Ismene knew that men were superior to women and knew that if they buried their brother they would both be killed. However when Ismene found out that Antigone was going to be killed she decided that she was really a part of it. When she told Creon this Antigone would not have it. Seeing as how Ismene really did not help her and was against her doing it in the first place.
