That the gods rule and that mortals live out their fatesis Antigone's views on the gods and men in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone believes in the traditional cultural ties that bind families to each other, to their gods and their societal traditions. She considers that divine will needs to be respected because it is the expression of the perfect wisdom of the gods. She sees mortals as carrying out personal and professional obligations that are custom made by the Furies of fate.

That of the experienced, respected elders of Thebes is what the old men's view is in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus is made up of Theban elders, one of whom is the designated leader.

What is the difference between Antigone's and Ismene's views on the role of women in society in 'Antigone'?

Independence versus obedience is the difference between Antigone's and Ismene's respective views on the role of women in society in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone believes strongly about the importance of family ties, the gods and Theban traditions. She does not allow anyone or anything to dissuade or intimidate her. She feels confident of her ability to analyze situations and act upon what she sees. In contrast, all notion of independence is lost on Antigone's sister, Princess Ismene. Ismene thinks that men are born and destined to dominate and lead and that women are born and destined to follow and obey.
