The law is used as a metaphor here to represent men. In line 46 Ismene uses the words, "he and women". In line 47, she protest saying " We cannot fight with men", followed by " The law is strong". Here Ismene gives the law a physical character. Lastly, she said "we must give in to the law" which represents that women should give in to men. The "we" addresses her and Antigone who are both women.

Antigone not only speak of Creon as a man and not the king here, but she also speaks to his strength as well as hers. We see her taking on a "man" rather than "the law"

The literary device foreshadowing is used here which serves as an indication to what will happen in the future or as the play progresses. Antigone accepts that dying will be a consequence to burying her brother.

Death is not pluralized here which shows that Ismene is referring to the bond that they share as sisters rather than two separate beings.

Emphasis on deaths happening in pairs here. Ismene uses these deaths in pairs lending to the idea of "two" throughout the Theban plays. The literary device, allusion is used here again, so as to relate back to the previous plays.

Antigone uses sarcasm here. She does not see Creon as a good person based on the law he ordered. Her resentment for him is seen more as she uses to word "good" sarcastically so as to mock him.

Implies that Antigone's tone is different from her usual tone. Perhaps from subservient to opposing.

Ismene uses the word "two" two times in this sentence which implies the severity of the lost they have endured. She then says double which can be interpreted as a synonym for the word two. While "a double death" refers to both the physical death their brothers, the mention of "two sisters" refer to the emotional death they are experiencing.

The play opens with an allusion- a literary device used indirectly to reference to a person, place, thing or idea of historical, cultural, literary or political significance. Here we see Antigone make reference to Oedipus, the story of Antigone's father and the second of the Theban play by Sophocles. Antigone is the third.

The word must implies a definitive decision.

This line contains two opposite states, one "alive" and the other "Death". However, after the first clause, "You are alive" the word "but" implies that the first clause is meant as a negative. Antigone sees being alive as the ultimate punishment for Ismene.

Antigone is referring to helping save her from Creon's wrath.

Although Ismene did not physically help, she did know of Antigone's plan. However, for Antigone, actions speak louder than words, and it doesn't matter if she knew, it is what she did that matters.

Ismene response here contains two word pairs, 'if she' and 'let me', that represents Antigone as the sister who makes the decisions as well as the stronger voice of the two. Also, we see that Ismene looks up to her sister. Ismene has an opposite personality compared to her sister. For example, she is not as brave, in fact, she is cowardly.

Throughout the dialogue Ismene served as a foil character to Antigone, allowing Antigone's characteristics and personality to stand out. However, Antigone ends the dialogue with a questionable tone. In the previous lines, her devotion to the Gods, her willingness to die to uphold their will, and her rebellious and strong nature can be seen. Nonetheless, I think here we see Antigone as the victim of an unjust order from the Creon. Though, Death it also seems like death is her ultimate goal since only then she can be with the Gods, who she is somewhat infatuated with.

The word "my" in this statement represents Creon's need for power and what's important to him. While he could have said "the throne" he uses "my" which implies ownership and who exactly the throne belongs to.

Antigone's devotion to the law of the Gods outweigh that of the law of land, and it is her belief that she will receive her rewards in the after life.
