Antigone is the person whom the chorus blames for her trouble in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, the chorus blames Theban Princess Antigone's stubbornly passionate contrariness in showing no respect to King Creon in terms of his laws and in terms of his person as her uncle, sovereign and intended father-in-law. But at the same time, the chorus charges Antigone's parents with serving as improper role models. The chorus also concedes that Antigone's personality is hardened by her family's uphill struggle against multiplying, relentless divine curses against the Theban royal house.

What does Antigone say that her sister has no right to do in 'Antigone'?

That Ismene has no right to share in the blame or the punishment is what Antigone says in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone deliberately breaks a royal edict that honors god-given rights to a below-ground burial for her brother Eteocles but denies them to her brother Polyneices. She asks Ismene for help in burying Polyneices and is turned down. At her trial and sentencing, she announces that she alone deserves punishment since Ismene is innocent of being an accessory to a crime for which she therefore deserves neither blame nor punishment.
