How does Ismene feel about what Antigone wants her to do in 'Antigone'?
Very scared is the way in which Ismene feels about what Antigone wants her to do in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone wants to break a royal edict by burying her brother Polyneices. The crime carries the death penalty. Antigone is not afraid of breaking the law or facing the punishment, but her sister Ismene is.
What crime does Antigone decide to commit and what is Ismene's reaction to that decision?
Antigone decides to commit the crime of disobeying a royal decree whose punishment is death. She plans to honor her brother Polyneices' corpse with proper burial rites and rituals despite a recent law to the contrary. Ismene first tells her sister not to be disobedient and disrespectful to their uncle, Theban King Creon, and not to violate his laws. Ismene then tells her sister to be as cautious and secretive as possible in her decision to violate the law of non-burial to disloyal Theban dead.
Does Ismene admit to her hatred when she turns her back on her sister in 'Antigone'?
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.
To whom is Ismene betrothed in 'Antigone'?
Ismene is not betrothed to anyone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, little information is given about Theban Princess Ismene. No mention is made of her circumstances or of her fate. The audience just knows that King Creon believes in Ismene's innocence and does not punish her for Antigone's crime of burying Polyneices in violation of a royal edict to the contrary.Many of the stories from ancient Greece have variant versions. Such is the case with the little known Ismene. According to some versions, Ismene accompanies Antigone and Oedipus when the latter is exiled for killing his father, marrying his mother, and fathering children of whom he is also the half-brother. According to others, Ismene is killed before her brothers Eteocles and Polyneices kill each other during the civil war over the Theban royal succession.
How is Ismene family oriented in 'Antigone'?
That she tries to share the blame in Antigone's crime is a way in which Ismene is family oriented in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Ismene does not want to break her uncle King Creon's edict of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. She makes the suggestion that Antigone not bury their disgraced brother Polyneices whose body is left above ground. But she pretends to participate in the crime when she finds out that Antigone is under arrest and headed towards being sentenced to death. Perhaps she thinks that in so doing the punishment will be lightened or even a pardon issued.
