Question: Discuss how the sibling relationships in the novel Home Fire differ from in the original play, Antigone. How do these changes in the novel influence your perception of the relationships between these characters? How does this contribute to developing the point of the novel? How did you feel about Polyneices, knowing he was a traitor to Thebes? Did you have very strong feelings about what he had done? Do you understand and support Antigone's loyalty to him, despite his alleged treachery? How does this compare with your reaction to Parvaiz's actions in Home Fire and how Aneeka and Isma react to their brother's actions in the novel? What makes you feel differently (if you do) about Parvaiz, compared with Polyneices? Do you have any sympathy for either man? Why or why not?
