Antigone Discussion

"My heart was long since dead" (141).
"There she may pray to Death, the god she loves" (147).

Do you think that Antigone had already accepted death before she buried her brother?

Antigone Discussion

"You ought to realize we are only women, not meant in nature to fight against men, and that we are ruled, by those who are stronger, to obedience in this and even more painful matters" (lines 70-74).

What is the view on women/ their role? How does this view effect Ismene and Antigone's actions?
