Read the excerpt from Antigone Part 2 of the conversation between Antigone and Ismene after Creon has accused Ismene of conspiring with her sister to bury Polyneices.

I did it—
I admit it, and she’ll back me up.
So I bear the guilt as well.

ANTIGONE
No, no—
justice will not allow you to say that.
You didn’t want to. I didn’t work with you.

ISMENE
But now you’re in trouble, I’m not ashamed
of suffering, too, as your companion.

ANTIGONE
Hades and the dead can say who did it—
I don’t love a friend whose love is only words.



What does this conversation reveal about Antigone?

She is unforgiving.

She is sympathetic.

She is vengeful.

She is manipulative.
