Ismene is terrified of Antigone's boldness at wanting to give their brother, Polyneices, an honorable burial. She also desires a burial for their brother, but is too afraid of the death penalty and refuses to participate in Antigone's plans, causing Antigone to disown her in contempt.
Despite her refusal to help Antigone, Ismene later willingly offers to die alongside her sister even though she didn't bury Polyneices. Thus she still is loyal to her sister despite her cowardice.
Very scared is the way in which Ismene feels about what Antigone wants her to do in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone wants to break a royal edict by burying her brother Polyneices. The crime carries the death penalty. Antigone is not afraid of breaking the law or facing the punishment, but her sister Ismene is.
The sister of Antigone is 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.
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.
