Okay, so I was wrong. Things have gotten worse. Antigone was caught trying to bury our brother after I tried to convince her not to perform the task. I didn’t think that she had it in her. I was lamenting the loss of poor Polyneices when I realized Antigone had been caught. Perhaps if I told Creon that I had been involved, he would punish Antigone as severely. Maybe he could even pity us and think that we were in so much grief that we had to do something. It was then and there that I resolved to stand up for Antigone.
When Creon asked if I had taken any part in the burial rights, I said yes, but for some reason Antigone denied me. It seems that she doesn’t want any help. I’m so frustrated with her. Why doesn’t she understand? I’m trying so hard so hard to be a good person but everything keeps backfiring in my face.
Haemon, Creon’s son, is betrothed to Antigone, so I decided to appeal to Creon in that sense, but it didn’t work. I’m sure Creon won’t put Antigone to death, at least for Haemon’s sake.

Your only weapon in this world is your Reason. Keep using it ! You were very nice to Antigone and you tried to do every-thing that was possible for her. But she knows that her destiny is to die today. She knows that Oedipus' malediction is also her malediction. Keep supporting her but please, be careful. You have to live.
