"House Taken Over," by Julio Cortázar, is a brief short story that portrays a spinster sister and her bachelor brother as they live a quiet existence in their sprawling ancestral home. Much of the narrative is devoted to descriptions of the house and of the siblings' efforts to maintain it. When not cleaning the house, the sister, Irene, spends her time knitting. Irene's unnamed brother, who is also the story's narrator, spends his free time reading French literature. The story and its characters seem rather static until a mysterious presence begins to take over the house. Brother and sister are first relegated to their own wing, and then they are fully evicted. This presence is never explained, but the suspense and sense of mystery that pervade the remainder of the story are undeniable. The introduction of this understated otherworldly element places the story squarely in the Latin American tradition of magical realism. This tradition is particularly characterized by subtle supernatural elements incorporated into an otherwise ordinary scenario.
Irene : Irene is the narrator's sister. It is not clear whether she is the elder sibling or the younger. It is clear, however, that she is a childless spinster in or nearing her forties. Irene has turned down two eligible suitors who proposed marriage, and she has since settled into a chaste "marriage" with her brother. Irene is also a recluse who never leaves the house. She spends her time cleaning the house or knitting clothes for herself or her brother. She does so even though they can afford to buy clothing. Irene also trusts her brother's opinion. He purchases her knitting yarn and she always approves of his choices. Irene spends her time being pointlessly productive: she has knit so many shawls that she could open a store and sell them, but they sit forgotten in drawers surrounded by mothballs. Some part of Irene is aware of this. When she and her brother are evicted from their house, she drops the knitting and leaves it without a backward glance. The ease with which she abandons her primary pastime is nothing short of astounding.

The play Antigone, written by Sophocles, tells the story of a family conflict where a battle to the death leads to division and tragedy. The major players are Antigone, daughter of the famed Oedipus, Antigone's sister, Ismene, their brothers, Polyneices and Eteocles, and their uncle, Creon. Before the play begins, Polyneices and Eteocles fight to the death, leaving both brothers dead on the battlefield. With the brothers gone, the power falls to Creon, who abuses his power from the moment he gains it. He becomes king and declares that the body of Polyneices should rot in the street, while his brother Eteocles will have a proper burial due to his loyalty to the state.
Creon makes it very clear that anyone who dares to bury Polyneices' body will be killed. However, Antigone doesn't care about this edict. She is furious at her uncle's decision and tells her sister Ismene that she will bury the body at all costs; for Antigone, showing her loyalty to the gods by giving her brother a proper burial takes precedence over her uncle's words. She asks Ismene for help, but Ismene thinks Antigone's decision is foolish and reminds her of their uncle's orders. This difference of opinion segues into a new conflict, one between sisters. Ultimately, Antigone dies, leaving Ismene to grieve the consequence of her actions. But there is far more to unpack before the play's tragic end.
After this conversation, we don't hear from Ismene again until Creon orders her into custody, thinking Ismene must know of Antigone's plan. It's at this time that Ismene has a change of heart. When she is brought in front of Creon, she wishes to be charged with the crime of burying her brother, claiming she did know of Antigone's plan. However, this is a crime she wanted no part of the day before. Ismene states she now understands what Antigone meant by honoring her brother, a truth she seemed to comprehend only at the thought of her sister's death. Ismene emotionally states she doesn't want to live without her sister, showing her compassion and loyalty, but the question of Ismene's integrity arises from the timing of her confession. Did Ismene reflect on what Antigone said and truly learn what it means to be loyal? Or does Ismene fear her uncle and isolation, knowing she will be alone when Antigone is gone? The answer is unclear, but we can read between the lines of Ismene's reaction to the king to find evidence for the former.
The play Antigone by Sophocles is a tragedy that reveals what happens when family conflict isn't resolved peacefully. The main character, Antigone, decides to bury her brother, Polyneices, after it's declared by the king punishable by death. She goes to her sister, Ismene, for help, but Ismene is too weak to support her. She does promise to keep her plan a secret, but this enrages Antigone.
Antigone and Ismene lose their father, mother and two brothers in a short period of time. Their brothers, Polyneices and Eteocles, end up fighting to the death, which puts their uncle Creon in power. The newly appointed king declares that the body of Polyneices should rot in the street, and his brother Eteocles will have a proper burial due to his loyalty to the state. Anyone who dares to bury Polyneices' body will be stoned to death. Antigone tells Ismene she will bury the body at all costs and wants her help. Ismene thinks Antigone is crazy and reminds her sister of their uncle's orders.
Sophocles creates a juxtaposition of the two sisters. On one side is Antigone, a girl who will risk her life to honor her brother, a loyalty she feels is connected through blood. On the other is Ismene, a girl who fears the law, authority, and death. It seems these two characters were created as a foil characters to each other, their opposite attributes offering knowledge and wisdom to the reader and to the other characters.
Ismene references the 'public good,' reminding Antigone that laws are created for good reason. Again, the divide between reason and emotion grows. Ismene's ignorance of Antigone's devotion to their brother increases as she says she will keep this secret for her. In turn, Antigone's anger increases; she wants people to know her true character and that of her sister's as well. Ismene can't understand why anyone would want to break the law and openly tell people about this crime. But after this encounter, Ismene begins to reflect on Antigone's brazen behavior when the thought of losing her sister becomes a reality after Antigone buries Polyneices' body.
After the sisters' first conversation, we don't hear from Ismene again until the king orders her into custody, thinking Ismene must know of Antigone's plan. It is during this time that Ismene has a change of heart. When she is brought in front of the king, she wishes to be charged with the crime, a crime she wanted no part of the day before. Ismene states she now understands what Antigone meant by honoring her brother, a truth she seemed to comprehend only at the thought of her sister's death. Ismene pleads that she does not want to live without Antigone, showing compassion and loyalty to her sister, but the question of Ismene's integrity arises from the timing of her confession.
As Creon and Antigone fight over her fate, Ismene starts making arguments based on her sister and her sister's fiance, Haimon, who happens to be Creon's son. While it shows loyalty and compassion for her sister, not once has Ismene made an argument for the burial of Polyneices, the reason this conflict began. Her fear of her uncle and of death show in these arguments, and while Ismene seems genuine and compassionate toward her sister's fate, her emotions seem to stem from fear and selfishness. Antigone, on the other hand, makes her arguments based on the love of her brother, family loyalty, and honor.
