Yeah this is for school :)
This has been a life chaning time for me. Well i finally decided that the body of Polyneices should not be burried since he was a horrible leader and sold his own people into slavery. But, soon after I annocied that to the public that no one should burry Polyneices my Sentry told me that there was new dust on Polyneices slimy flesh. I couldnt believe it! Who would break my rule and go against me sinc i was king? Antigone confessed that she had buried his body, I was in complete shock. Antigone explained that she burried Polyneices because he was her brother, she even seemed proud that she had gone against my request. I threatened her with death, she didnt even care. Even though she acted alone i decided that her sister should be punished as well. Antigone told me that Ismene had no part in the burial, but Ismene said that if i killed Antigone i would have to kill her too. Too make matters even worse my son Haimon, told me that was "in love" with Antigone and they where engaged. I decided to put Antigone in a cave with some food so maybe she could survive. Haimon then told me that if she died then I would never see him again. The next thing i knew after that the blind man Teiresias was telling me that I was self centered and pay back was coming soon for putting Antigone away. Soon, the most unfortunate thing of my life happened, I went to the outer plain where polyneices was lying after that we went to the cave where Antigone was, she had hung herself. Then, all of the sudden out of nowhere Haimon drove his sword at at me, he missed and then drove the sword into himself. When my wife caught the news she commited suiside. She could not stand to be with me anymore.
I think its time that i change.
