Best Answer

Passionate is what Antigone is like. In particular, she's passionate about divine will, family, and justice. This orientation tends towards recklessness.

In contrast, obedient is what Antigone's sister Ismene is like. In particular, she's cowed by male authorities and their punitive powers as royalty. This orientation tends towards reluctance to stand out in a crowd.

How do Antigone and Ismene settle their differences in 'Antigone'?

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.

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.
