It is by reminding him of the love between his son and his niece that Ismene attempts to appeal to Creon's mercy in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban Princess Ismene attempts to save the life of her sister, Princess Antigone. Her uncle King Creon favors the mandatory death penalty for Antigone's civil disobedience. The ties of blood make no difference to him. So Ismene tries to lead him to extenuating circumstances, leniency or pardon by reminding him of the great love that his son Prince Haemon has for his first cousin and bride-to-be Antigone.

What is the effect of Ismene's reply to Antigone's appeal in 'Antigone'?

An ever strengthened desire to do the deed is the effect of Ismene's reply to Antigone's appeal for help in burying their brother Polyneices in the play "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Creon, King of Thebes and uncle to the Princesses Antigone and Ismene, refuses to honor god-given guarantees of proper burials and funerary rites to all Thebes. One of the Thebans so affected is the princesses' disloyal dead brother Polyneices. Antigone wants to go ahead and bury Polyneices, Ismene tries to talk her out of it, and Antigone becomes ever more determined to do the deed and to insult Ismene for having a different opinion.
