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>.
