No one dares to brave the prohibition and the corpse of Polynice is abandoned in the sun and to the scavengers.
alone Antigone refuses this situation. Despite her uncle's ban, she goes to her brother's body several times and tries to cover it with earth. Ismène, her sister, does not want to accompany her because she is afraid of Creon and Death.
Antigone is taken to the fact by the King's guards. Creon is obliged to apply the death sentence in Antigone ...
