Antigone believes that Ismene is a traitor to her family becausy she doesn't want to help Antigone bury their brother Polynieces. Ismene cares more about herself thatn her brother's afterlife.
That it is a lie is the reason why Antigone refuses to permit Ismene to share responsibility for burying Polyneices in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigones asks her sister Ismene to help give their brother Polyneices' body a proper below-ground burial. Ismene refuses out of fear of the death penalty for breaking one of their uncle King Creon's laws. Antigone seeks capture for giving Polyneices a partial burial under a layer of dust because the royal law contradicts divine will and Theban traditions. She wants to make a statement in suffering the consequences and not to have anything to do with a sister whom she considers base.
To decide wether she's going to help her or not
Help her bury their brother is what Antigone asks her sister to do in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone asks her sister, Princess Ismene, to help bury their brother Polyneices. With Ismene, Antigone can give her brother the below ground burial to which he is entitled. Without her, Antigone can give no more than a partial burial under a layer of dust.
Ismene refuses to help Antigone because she follows Creon's laws. She knows the outcome of what will happen, and though she wishes to help Antigone, she claims herself as just a 'woman', meaning they can't fight against the men, and the laws they set up in their life. in the end though, Ismene comes in to help Antigone, when she finally realizes what is actually right.
Ismene refuses to help Antigone bury the body in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Ismene is the younger sister of Princess Antigone and of twin brothers Eteocles and Polyneices. Eteocles and Polyneices kill each other, and Eteocles receives a below-ground burial and proper funeral rites, both of which are denied to Polyneices. Antigone wants to bury Polyneices and will have to do so alone since Ismene refuses to help.

Help in burying her brother is what Antigone needs in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone does not have the strength to bury her brother Polyneices properly on her own. A proper Theban burial is below ground and accompanied by funereal rites. Antigone knows that with or without help she can carry out the proper anointing. But without help she must give her brother a partial burial whereby his body is left above ground but covered with a layer of dust.

Fear of the consequences is the reason for Ismene's refusal in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone asks her sister Ismene to help her break a royal edict and bury their brother Polyneices. Ismene does not want to help since an act of defiance will be met with a punitive reaction. Ismene in fact fears the consequences since the punishment is the humiliating, painful death by being pelted by stone-throwing Theban peers.
Ismene, her sister
Ismene wouldn't help Antigone bury the body of their brother, but when Antigone is caught she won't let Ismene take any of the blame because she was loyal to the law and not to her family.
No, Antigone does not use a shovel to bury her brother in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone uses just her hands to bury her brother Polyneices. She says that with her sister Ismene's help she can give their brother a below-ground burial. Without her help, Antigone just has enough strength for a partial burial, whereby the body is left above ground and covered with a layer of dust.
she is afraid of getting caught, by the guards.
