Hello. You forgot to mention that this question is about "Antigone & Ismene".

Answer:

Lines 114 and 121 show a juxtaposition between the terms "hate" and "love" to highlight the differences between Antigone and Ismene in terms of personality and the opinions that the two present.

Explanation:

Within a text, juxtaposition is the resource that allows the presentation of two terms placed side by side, but which can often have opposite meanings, or not. This resource is used in the formation of new words and concepts by joining terms within a text.

In the case of the text referenced above, the terms "love" and "hate" are used to form a concept of difference between the sisters Antígona and Ismene. Thus, the text highlights differences in behavior, personality and opinions between the two.
