Ismene struggles with her loyalty to her family and her desire to support her sister Antigone in defying their father's orders. To become a true sister, she must embrace courage and solidarity, even if it means challenging societal norms and risking her own safety. However, by initially refusing to help Antigone, Ismene feels like a traitor to her family, torn between her loyalty to the law and her love for her sister. Ultimately, her journey reflects the complex dynamics of familial loyalty and individual morality.

How are Antigone and Ismene the same in 'Antigone'?

That they love their family is the way in which Antigone and Ismene are the same in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban sister princesses Antigone and Ismene both care about the family into which they are born. But Antigone is older and more willing to give physical and verbal proof of her feelings. In contrast is Ismene, who is young, more easily cowed and less willing to express and defend her familial loyalty until she is backed up against the wall and faces the prospect of being alone with her fears and timidity.
