Which situation presented during scene 2 of the play Antigone is intended to highlight the conflict between loyalty to family and civil obedience?

Antigone is engaged to Creon’s son, Haemon.
Eteocles is buried with honors.
Ismene refuses to help her sister bury Polyneices.
Creon becomes king.

Creon: He is an archetypal villain because his announcement to bury Polyneices is the catalyst for the misfortune which composes the plot of the story. A stock character is an archetypal character whose purpose is to move the story along allowing the audience to quickly understand the character.

A tragic flaw: It´s a literary device that can be defined as a trait in a character, usually the hero, that leads him to downfall. This characteristic could be the lack of self-knowledge or judgment and, as the story here analyzed, the pride.

Ismene refuses to help her sister bury Polyneices: Ismene decides to go against the divine authority by not defending her family´s honor, but she obeys the human authorities because she´s more afraid of what they can do to her.

I hope these answers help you.
