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.
They are sisters but different in personality.
Sisters and cousins is the relationship between Antigone and Ismene in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Antigone and Ismene are the daughters of disgraced Theban monarchs Oedipus and Jocasta. Their parents both are direct descendants of Cadmus, Thebes' founder and first king, but by different grandchildren. Their parents therefore are cousins to each other as are the sisters Antigone and Ismene.

Ismene is Antigone's sister
Ismene wouldn't help Antigone bury the body of their brother, but when Antigone is caught she won't let Ismene take any of the blame because she was loyal to the law and not to her family.

Nothing indicates that differences are settled between Antigone and Ismene in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Ismene does not appear in the play after her explosive interaction with her sister Antigone during the latter's trial. Subsequently, Creon indicates that he will release Ismene, as innocent of wrongdoing, and punish Antigone, as the lone perpetrator.
nigah screw you. I aint helpin' antigone she a dumb hoe.
That people have beliefs which come about through experience is what Antigone's and Ismene's differences and likenesses say about human nature in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the phrase human nature describes ways of being and doing that humans share. It can be said to find its application in the play by way of the interactions between the very different yet similar sister Theban Princesses Antigone and Ismene. For example, Antigone and Ismene hold convictions that come about through response to processing experiences in different ways.
