Weakness is Creon's greatest fear in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon is new in his role as solely ruling monarch over all Thebes. He remembers all too well the stresses of the recent bloody civil war over the Theban royal succession. He shudders at the thought of being overthrown and therefore seeks to show no sign of weakness to all of the enemies that he imagines within the confines of his city.

No, Antigone and Ismene are not both afraid to bury their brother in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone does not fear death. She therefore does not fear risking the death sentence by breaking the law and burying her disgraced brother Polyneices. But her courage is not echoed by her sister, Princess Ismene, who fears being found out and punished to death.
Appearing weak is Creon's greatest fear as king in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon emerges quite scathed from the overthrow of disgraced King Oedipus and from the civil war between Oedipus' twin sons and heirs, Eteocles and Polyneices. He is reluctant to engage in further controversy and conflict. He thinks that a strong rule by one strong authority figure is necessary to keep him from appearing weak and being vulnerable to challenge.
the fear of society
Ismene reacts with fear. She wants Polyneices to be given an honorable burial as much as Antigone does, but she is far too terrified to do it herself because of the death penalty that Creon has imposed for anyone who attempts to bury Polyneices. Out of fear, she refuses to help Antigone bury Polyneices. However, later on, she attempts to die alongside her sister for the crime that Antigone committed by herself.
No, Ismene admits fear, practicality and youth instead of fear when she turns her back on her sister in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Ismene refuses to help her sister Antigone bury their brother Polyneices. She is practical in her fear since the crime carries the death sentence. Additionally, she shows her youth since Antigone as a young engaged woman must be older than Ismene who is single and unspoken for.
