Ismene conflict by antigone to bury her brother?
In "Antigone," Ismene's conflict arises from her fear of defying King Creon’s orders, which prohibit the burial of their brother Polynices. While Antigone is determined to honor their brother by performing the burial rites, Ismene initially refuses to join her, prioritizing obedience to the law and concern for her own safety. This tension highlights the struggle between individual moral duty and societal rules, ultimately showcasing Ismene's internal struggle between loyalty to her family and her fear of the consequences of rebellion.
Are Antigone and Ismene both afraid to bury their brother in 'Antigone'?
No, Antigone and Ismene are not both afraid to bury their brother in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone does not fear death. She therefore does not fear risking the death sentence by breaking the law and burying her disgraced brother Polyneices. But her courage is not echoed by her sister, Princess Ismene, who fears being found out and punished to death.
How are Antigone and Ismene different?
Antigone and Ismene are sisters. The story centres around the undignified way in which their brother's body has been left (at the time the women of the family would prepare the body for burial), and the king has made it illegal to bury him. Antigone believes that justice would be served if she defies the law, risking death if she is caught, and buries her brother. Ismene abides by the law and does not help to bury the body.
