My quote is:
"What more can I do, or undo, to help you?" (127).
This quote stood out to me, as Ismene says this to Antigone. In this line, she is willing to help, though she is reluctant throughout the rest of the act. Further, the first part is self explanatory, but what does "undo" mean in this context? What has been done that Ismene is willing to undo? I found this very strange.
Both of your questions are making me think. This one, though...I have no idea. Maybe it's part of the idea that we all would like to be able to "undo" some things that we or others have done? A gesture towards the futility of offering anything at this point?
