Love is the emotion that most likely causes Ismene to want to join Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Princess Ismene argues against her sister Princess Antigone's burying their brother Polyneices out of fear of the lethal punishment. She ends their interaction saying that Antigone is dear to her. It is brave of her to want to join Antigone. She may be doing it because of the hopelessness of the situation. Or she may be doing it in the hopes of extenuating circumstances, leniency or outright pardon from their uncle, King Creon.

What happens to Ismene?
The fate of Ismene is unknown in the play 'Antigone'. Readers and viewers only know that Ismene's activities are under Theban King Creon's control. The King ultimately decides to release Ismene, and to punish Antigone, for the unlawful burial of their rebel brother Polyneices. Ismene is a survivor. She also represents the ideal Theban woman: unquestioning, unimaginative, uneducated, subservient, obedient, and intimidated by governmental, royal and spousal powers. The children of her brothers Eteocles and Polyneices succeed Creon as King of Thebes. So it's likely that Ismene ends up as married with children.
Antigone says the that worst death is death without honor. What might this be a reference to especially within her own family?
Well, the fact that Polyneices, her brother, didn't get a proper funeral, and that his body was corrupted, was considered honorless by Antigone and Ismene, so it's likely that she was referring to that.
What is Creon's view of women as leaders in 'Antigone'?
That they do not belong is Creon's view of women as leaders in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon dismisses women as completely alike and completely replaceable. His favorite, Princess Ismene, most likely expresses his views when she says that women are not in the same league as men. She insists that men give out orders that women must carry out without question.

What is Antigone's era in 'Antigone'?
The thirteenth century B.C.E. most likely is Antigone's era in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, no information on ages or timelines is given in the play. But from other sources it is known that Antigone's nephew Thersander is a Trojan War contemporary if not participant. The war may be dated to 1194 B.C.E. - 1184 B.C.E. Thersander is no more than a child at the time of Antigone's death. So the play's events most likely take place some 20-30 years before the Trojan War, 1214 B.C.E. - 1224 B.C.E.
