picture summary
"I will bury the brother I love" In the beginning of the prologue of Antigone Ismene and Antigone are in an argument about whether or not they should bury their brother. One of their brothers were given a proper burial, this being the one that their uncle sided with. The other was left without any burial and was thought to be stuck in purgatory until being buried. This causes a lot of tension between the sisters because burying their brother is illegal.
