Antigone speaks these lines to Ismene. Why does she say Ismene will "earn the loathing of the dead"? Ismene chooses to defy Creon's decree. Ismene is responsible for the death of her brothers. Ismene will not help Antigone bury Polyneices. Ismene is the daughter of Oedipus.

Answers

Answer: Ismene will not help Antigone bury Polyneices.

The main conflict of the story is Antigone's desire to bury her brother Polyneices against the wishes of King Creon. As Ismene is also a sibling, Antigone expects Ismene to help her fulfill this mission in order to make sure that Polyneices burial takes place according to tradition. However, Ismene is too scared, and does not want to help. This, according to Antigone, will earn Ismene "the loathing of the dead."

The correct answer is that 'Ismene will not help Antigone bury Polyneices'. Because she is afraid of Creon and doesn't want to test his patience, so she chooses not to help Antigone do it and honor their brother.
