(her sister just told her she will not help her bury her brother because its against the law) “You have made your choice, you can be what you want to be. But I will bury him; and if I must die, I say that this a crime against the gods: I shall lie down with him in death, and I shall be as dear to him as he to me. I may die a criminal, but I will at least be a religious one.”
(ending the argument with her sister) “ Go away, Ismene: I and the dead will hate you soon, For your words are hateful. Leave me with my foolish plan”

(pleading with her sister to not break the law by burying her brother) “ And now, our two brothers died, Each killed by the other’s sword. And only we are left: But oh, Antigone, think how much more terrible than these Our own death would be if we should go against Creon And do what he has forbidden! ”
(trying to remain neutral after an argument) “Go then, if you feel that you must. You are unwise, but a loyal friend indeed to those who love you.”
