What conflicts are there in the scene where Antigone finds her brother not buried in 'Antigone'?
Whether or not to bury in terms of Antigone and whether or not to arrest her in terms of the guards are the conflicts in the scene in which Antigone finds her brother not buried in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.D. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone must decide whether or not to rebury the body of her brother Polyneices. The guards must decide whether or not to let Antigone get away with burying the body. Then they must decide whether or not to capture her or let her go and brave King Creon's wrath.

What do the guards do when Antigone tells them that her father is Oedipus in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Antigone does not tell the guards that her father is Oedipus in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the guards have no need to be told of Antigone's identity or parentage. She is a Theban princess and bride-to-be of the heir apparent, Theban Prince Haemon. She therefore is immediately recognizable to all Thebans.

Why is Antigone caught when she buries her brother in 'Antigone'?
That guards are posted and that she does it in daylightare the reasons why Antigone is caught when she buries her brother in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon announces his edict of non-burial and posts guards around the unburied bodies of the disloyal Theban dead. His niece, Princess Antigone, checks upon her brother Polyneices' body in broad daylight. She goes through the burial and anointing once more and in plain view of the posted guards.
Who tells Creon about antigone burying her brother?
The guards and sentries who witness the act.
Who did Antigone feel supported her decision to bury Polyneices?
The Gods, the guards, and Eteocles.
How and by whom is Antigone captured in 'Antigone'?
In a second attempt to bury her brother, Antigone is captured by Creon's guards in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon refuses to honor divinely ordained below-ground burial rights to the disloyal Theban dead. But Princess Antigone, his niece and intended daughter-in-law, decides to break her uncle's law and properly bury her brother Polyneices. She buries Polyneices, whose body is re-exposed by Creon's guards. The guards then catch her in the act of re-burying Polyneices' corpse.
How is it ironic that Antigone is captured the second time she buries Polyneices in 'Antigone'?
That it is because she comes back that she is arrested, tried and sentenced is what is ironic about Antigone's capture while attempting to bury Polyneices the second time in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Ismene says that if her sister Antigone is going to disobey their uncle Creon's law of non-burial to his enemies, she must do so in secret. Antigone says that she wants her disobedience to be common, public knowledge. The first attempt at burial indeed is done in secret since there are no witnesses. But the second attempt becomes public knowledge because of the guards that Creon stations near the unburied body of Polyneices, Creon's nephew and Antigone's brother.
Why does Antigone bury her brother twice in 'Antigone'?
That her uncle orders the body to be exposed again after the first burial attempt is the reason why Antigone buries her brother twice in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon anticipates violations of his unpopular edict of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. He has guards patrol the areas where the bodies of the unburied dead lie. The guards locate the partially buried body of Polyneices, Princess Antigone's brother, and re-expose him. Antigone returns to check up on her work, reburies him and is captured to be brought in for questioning and sentencing.
