</em>

This question is regarding a famous play written by Sophocles. He wrote this play in 441 BCE. These plays were <u>120</u> in total but out of which only <u>seven</u> survived till today.
Antigone's is the daughter of Oedipus and Jocasta. She had a very lonely childhood. The other main characters of the play are Creon, Ismene, Haemon, Eurydice of Thebes, Sentry, Polynices and Tiresias. Creon is the brother of her mother Jocasta.
2. Answer:
<em>This ruling badly affects their family.</em>
2. Explanation:
Since Polynices is her brother and she loves him very much. They already had a very troublesome childhood. <u>Their mother died while their father was banished from the country hence Antigone cherished her siblings very much. </u>
She wanted to give her brother a proper burial while Ismene solely wanted to obey the orders of the King. She did not want to make him angry. This was very hurtful for Antigone. Later in the play, Antigone kills herself too.
