The opening scene in <em>Antigone</em> between Antigone and Ismene sparks the play's action (A.) by revealing Antigone's plan of burying her brother against the king's orders.

Sophocles' play<em> Antigone </em>starts with a dialogue between Antigone and her sister Ismene, where<u> Antigone tells her that she is determined to bury Polynices</u>, their brother, despite Creon's orders<u>. Ismene tells her sister that she will not help her to bury him and tries to convince Antigone to respect the law because</u> Creon had ordered to condemn to death to anyone that dared to bury Polynices since he had been a 'traitor'. Therefore, while Ismene is submissive to the king, <u>Antigone decides to break the law and pay obedience to a higher religious law instead</u>.

Write two to three sentences that describe Thoreau’s viewpoint in this passage.
Deffense [45]
Thoreau's <em>overall</em> viewpoint was that it was in solitude with nature that a man could really learn to thrive. He argued that a life of luxury was an unnecessary one and that a man could easily make a living without even having to sweat if he would just strip his life of unneeded, materialistic items. I hope this helps, although I am not sure how to narrow this down seeing as your question is incomplete.
