You never cease to bring back the fondest memories of our late father. Headstrong and impulsive as he was, he was our father none the less, and is has become all too apparent that his blood runs through your veins, for impulsiveness and impulsiveness only would cause any mortal to go against a direct order of the king. Our deceased, rebel of a brother Polyneices was blessed by the gods and goddesses of Olympus to have received to sister like you, Antigone. For only you would even think to defy wishes of the ruler of our beloved Theban land. Brother or not, only a fool would bury a body left as carrion for birds and wild dogs! His soul may rest in peace now, but you will surely rest along side him in Hades' realm! Our uncle, Creon Rex, cares not at all of our familial relations to himself, but just that we are subjects that have purposely set out to go against his sovereign will. You knew all too well of the certain invocation of his wrath, and yet you went out to honor the dishonored, all for the sake of blood. I must say, you amaze me and I pray that in the end you will find it in your heart to forgive my submission, dear sister.
May the mightiest of gods have mercy on your soul, for the almighty Rex de Thebes most certainly will not.
Yours truly,
Ismene
