Answer:

To bury Polyneices.

Explanation:

The tragedy play "Antigone" by Sophocles tells the story of how a sister's love for her brother led her to death. Her action in choosing family ties and honor over the rule of the law made her a victim of the prejudiced system of the kingdom.

Antigone's two brothers Polyneices and Eteocles had fought and killed each other. While the new king Creon gave a proper burial to Eteocles, calling him a martyr, he prohibits anyone from giving the same treatment to Polyneices for he finds him to be a traitor. Antigone knows that the king had decreed a death sentence to anyone burying Polyneices but she could not just let it be and leave the body of her brother rot. So, she bravely buried him, thus putting the death sentence upon herself. The protagonist mentioned in the is Antigone, and her aim was to give a proper burial to her brother Polyneices.

Read the following paragraph from "Forbidden Fruit."
Leto [7]

Answer:

Regret.

Explanation:

The Russian short story "Forbidden Fruit" by Fazil Iskander tells the story of the young narrator fell upon the <em>"forbidden fruit"</em>, which in his case, is eating pork. Though commanded by his religious dictates, the narrator finds himself in conflict with his knowledge of his sister's consumption of pork and the need to stay loyal to his religious belief, the need to gain favor from his parents.

In the given passage from the story, the narrator seems to regret his past action of betraying and revealing his sister's secret of <em>"eating pork at Uncle Shura's house"</em>. No matter the treachery, he accepts that nothing can justify it the way he had done. And now that he's also taken to eating <em>"pork like everyone else"</em>, it seems to convey no happiness in him, just regret at the insensitive and wrong way of dealing things.
