	The Classics Pages - Ismene
		She is the norm - Ismene is what a Greek girl is supposed to be like (and Antigone isn't).
		Ismene does not want to be noticed, or draw any sort of attention to herself.
		Unusually for Greek tragic characters, Ismene in her second scene now has to play a different role - dramatically her task is to introduce the theme of Antigone's betrothal to Creon's son Haemon.

	SparkNotes: Antigone: Part II
		Ismene tells Antigone that Antigone is a young and beautiful girl engaged to be married.
		Ismene also conjures the specter of the howling mob, the mob that would stare them down with its thousands of eyes become one, and the guards that would defile them with their beastly hands.
		Thus, as Ismene notes, her beauty as such a heroine is somehow not of this world, the kind of beauty that turns the heads of small children—in fear, awe, and otherwise.

	Tony Reeves, "The Courage of Ismenel" (student paper)
		Ismene accepts the fact that she cannot move the body but promises to pray to the dead for forgiveness, yet Antigone wants to be brave, with no regard for her own life, and move Polynices.
		Ismene is doing this because she knows that if she doesn’t interfere, Antigone is going to die by herself and Ismene will be left all alone, with no real family left.
		Ismene is very courageous to strive to keep on living, and the fact of the matter is that she does, in fact, live.

		Tragic heroes are generally people of high social stature with a tragic flaw that usually manifests itself in the form of poor judgment and arrogance, condemning the hero to a disastrous end and establishing the character’s destiny.
		She shows disdain for Ismene’s cowardice and tendency to be a fair-weather friend.
		Her concern for family becomes almost an unhealthy obsession, and her selflessness is soon shown to be madness and self-infliction.

	Inchoat Ismene: Dreaming of Destruction in Statius’ Thebaid
		I propose that Ismene's retelling of her dream to her sister constitutes a particularly female form of subjective expression in the context of Statius' epic poem, one similar to lamentation.
		Ismene's mental detachment from the events of the war is manifested by the physical seclusion of her setting, as the vast expanse and dangers of the battlefield are immediately contrasted with the inviolability of the women's chambers (interea thalami secreta in parte sorores, line 607).
		Ismene's isolation from the war is further demonstrated by her inability to understand the implications of her dream, or to allow for its interpretation by her sister (lines 633-35).

	Ideal Female Page
		Ismene refers to Antigone and herself as “only women”, speaks of their “nature”, and tries to discourage Antigone from trying to “fight” men (70,71).
		Ismene, being, in the eyes of an Athenian male audience, the ideal female, goes on to point out the superiority of men, and the necessity of females to be obedient to men (72,73).
		Though Ismene is regretful about dishonoring the gods, she makes the choice to yield to the male, claiming that is was the only sensible course of action (74-78).

		Ismene explains her reasons to Antigone, "Consider, sister, how our father died,/hated and infamous; how he brought to light/his own offenses.../Then, mother...did shame/violently on her life, with twisted cords [because she hung herself]/Third, our two brothers, on a single day.../Each killed the other, hand against brother's hand" Line 59-65.
		Ismene tries to dissuade her again by saying, "It is better not to hunt the impossible," because she believes that Antigone will not accomplish anything by her actions.

	Antigone essays - Ismene And Haimon of Sophocles' Antigone
		Ismene, although weak and timid, is in the story to illustrate that Antigone is capable of being loved.
		Another reason Ismene is incorporated to Antigone is to show exactly strong-willed Antigone is. Haimon is there to show that Antigone has a life and a future outside her purpose.
		In scene two Ismene shows the viewers that she is still weak, but also that Antigone is a hero because heroes must be loved.

	[No title]
		Ismene is established as a stronger character than she has been depicted previously.
		She is not to be played as a passive character, as she might be in the Prologue because at this point in the play, Ismene has developed into a character who has the inner strength to defy the law and the authorities.
		Ismene, after she has been refused by Antigone, asks: “What do I care for life when you are dead?” This question signifies how heartbroken Ismene should be.

	Antigone Vs. Ismene
		Ismene reveals her passivity and helplessness in the light of Creon¹s decree.
		Doubting the wisdom of her sisters plan to break the law and bury Polyneices, Ismene argues: We who are women should not contend with men; we who are weak are ruled by the stronger, so that we must obey....(346) Once again Ismene¹s words clearly state her weak, feminine character and helplessness within her own dimensions.
		Ismene is more practical ; knowing the task is impossible, she feels the situation to be hopeless.

		As Antigone’s sister and Oedipus’; daughter, Ismene is an especially important character in the drama.
		In Antigone, Ismene’s fear of challenging Creon and the laws of the state prevent her from sharing in her sister’s bold plan and, ultimately, her fate.
		The last survivor of Oedipus’; house after the death of Antigone, Ismene nonetheless seems to vanish at the end, her identity lost in the culmination of the tragedy.
