In typical greek dramas, the prologue is the opening scene that provides background information about the play and sets up its conflict. which excerpts from antigone successfully achieve that goal?

ismene:
to me, antigone, no word of friends
has come, or glad or grievous, since we twain
were reft of our two brethren in one day
by double fratricide; and since i' the night
our argive leaguers fled, no later news
has reached me, to inspirit or deject.

. .

antigone:
such is the edict (if report speak true)
of creon, our most noble creon, aimed
at thee and me, aye me too; and anon
he will be here to promulgate, for such
as have not heard, his mandate; 'tis in sooth
no passing humor, for the edict says
whoe'er transgresses shall be stoned to death.

. .

ismene:
if in defiance of the law we cross
a monarch's will? —weak women, think of that,
not framed by nature to contend with men.
remember this too that the stronger rules;
we must obey his orders, these or worse.
therefore i plead compulsion and entreat
the dead to pardon.

. .

antigone:
sister, forbear, or i shall hate thee soon,
and the dead man will hate thee too, with cause.
say i am mad and give my madness rein
to wreck itself; the worst that can befall
is but to die an honorable death.
