Ismene is fearful of breaking the law and facing death; however, she is not fearful of any punishment that may occur after death as a result of her disrespecting the gods. In addition to fear, she makes the argument that, because she is a woman, she should not be taking a stand against men.
Ismene feels that human authority has more power than the gods; therefore, she will submit to Creon's decree forbidding the burial of her brother Polyneices. She plans to seek the forgiveness of the gods for her decision but does not seem to fear them. In addition to fearing Creon, she does not feel that she is strong enough to take a stand against the law. In contrast, Antigone does not fear human authority and chooses to follow the gods. Unlike her sister, she displays courage and strength.

Answer:

The conflict the sisters are experiencing is ironically similar to the brothers' conflict. Both Antigone and Polyneices are loyal to themselves and the gods more than the king and his subjects. On the other hand, Ismene and Eteocles experience an overwhelming need for civil obedience. Both sibling pairs undergo stresses within their relationships due to conflicting perspectives.

What does Buck completing the task stand for?

frosja888 [35]

The correct answer is Buck’s love for Thornton. There is bet placed about Buck’s strength, stating that he will not be able to pull a thousand pound sled. The amount is huge: 1600 dollars. Buck is able to do it and win the large amount for John Thornton. Although as a dog he really does not even know what is going on, his instinct tells him that accomplishing this task will please Thornton and because he loves him that makes him happy. This increases their bonding and loyalty to each other.
