Dear Antigone,
You tried to bury our brother and went against the rule of Creon. Which side should I side with! I should share as much punishment as you, Antigone. After all he is our brother by blood and we should honor him even for what he did. Aren't laws meant to be broken anyways? There are many people who should believe that he should have a burial. They are just too afraid to speak out against the King. You say that you don't want me to share the blame with me. You say that I should try and live the life. Why? Without you I feel really guilty and there is no way I can go on. On the other hand I feel as though Creon is out uncle and king. As much as I want an honorable burial for Ployneicies he is our King. Going against the King is crazy no one would ever do that. Don't forget that you had an arranged marriage with Creon's son, Haimon. Shouldn't he just leave it alone as like a wedding gift. Haimon must be furious after his own father is going to kill Haimon's future wife. Today was amazing for the first time in my life you stood up against the King. Such bravery something I could never accomplish. What ever happens happens theres nothing much that can happen now. Only a miracle could save what is to happen. The gods will surely punish him for he has made the biggest mistake of his life.
Love,
Ismene
