She demonstrates that concern by burying his body and thereby helping his entry into the Underworld of the afterlife. In contrast, she does not demonstrate a similar care or concern for her sister, Princess Ismene. In fact, she makes reference to Ismene as being basely born even though the sisters share the same genealogy, parents and royal social status.
