Answer #1 Antigone wants to bury her brother who was just killed in a battle against her other brother over the throne of Thebes. Answer #2 Antigone wants to make sure that her brother Polyneices is honored with proper burial rites and rituals. Polyneices is being denied both the rites and the burial. Their uncle, Theban King Creon, wants the Theban dead who were disloyal to their hometown in a recent battle to be left, above ground and exposed to the weather, the dogs, and the birds. Antigone doesn't want to disrespect her brother's memory or his corpse.
