That he is losing control is what Creon's accusing Ismene indicates in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Creon says that his niece, Princess Ismene, has a lifelong track record of behaving wisely. But he ends up accusing her of joining with her sister, Princess Antigone, in breaking the royal edict of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. In contrast, he describes Antigone as engaging in lifelong folly. He careens out of control under the stress of the recently ended civil war and opposition among Thebans to his rule. He therefore accuses Ismene when he has no grounds other than that she looks upset, which well she may just given daily life in Thebes under King Creon.

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.
