Ismene can be seen as a coward for her initial reluctance to support her sister Antigone in defying King Creon’s decree. While her fear of punishment and desire to conform to societal norms reflect a pragmatic approach to survival, it also highlights her lack of courage in standing up for what she believes is right. However, Ismene's character can also be interpreted as cautious rather than cowardly, as she ultimately values her own life and safety in a perilous situation. Thus, her actions may stem more from a desire for self-preservation than true cowardice.
