Underestimating Ismene and showing an unwillingness to compromise or reconcile are the respective judgment error and character frailty that Antigone shows in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone finds her younger sister Ismene weak and lacking in conviction. Likewise, she is intent upon her convictions and has no interest in those of others or in finding common ground between the two. She therefore is unprepared for opportunities with Ismene and Creon to negotiate better fates for herself and the unburied Theban dead. Disdain for others and stubbornness do not improve her lot or that of such disloyal Thebans as her dead brother Polyneices.

What is the meaning in 'Oedipus Rex' of 'Let every man in mankind's frailty consider his last day and let none presume on his good fortune until he find life at his death a memory without pain'?

No one is guaranteed smooth sailing through life is the meaning of 'Let every man in mankind's frailty consider his last day and let none presume on his good fortune until he find life at his death a memory without pain'. The ancient world is ruled by the gods. It's ironically symbolic that Zeus, as the king of the gods, carries a thunderbolt. In many ways, that's what life is to the ancient Greeks in such plays as 'Oedipus Rex'. Mortals are playthings of the gods. They're lucky if they aren't jumping up to avoid, or running away from, the thunderbolts that Zeus and his extended family send the way of all mortals.
