Best Answer

It is from lacking to finding courage that Ismene changes since the beginning of "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban Princess Ismene is not a risk taker. She observes that burying her brother Polyneices and receiving the death sentence from her uncle King Creon are outside her comfort zone. She prefers to follow and obey men than to protect the rights of a vulnerable family member. But she realizes in her second interaction that playing it safe makes life lonely without her courageous sister. She stands up for herself and Antigone.

What is the relationship between Antigone and Ismene in 'Antigone'?

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.
