Dear Antigone,
I write to you because I am concerned about your intention to bury Polynices. When you came to me and requested that I assist you in this criminal endeavor I was flabbergasted that you would even think to defy King Creon. In my opinion it is a foolhardy idea. I understand why you may feel compelled to give our brother a proper burial. I loved Polynices as much as you; however, if you continue with this imprudent plan you will surely face dire consequences.
Creon has strictly forbidden anyone to touch the body of our brother. You must put aside your personal feelings for him…
