What are Antigone and Ismene like?

In: Antigone, Oedipus Rex [Edit categories]

Answer:

Passionate is what Antigone is like. In particular, she's passionate about divine will, family, and justice. This orientation tends towards recklessness.

In contrast, obedient is what Antigone's sister Ismene is like. In particular, she's cowed by male authorities and their punitive powers as royalty. This orientation tends towards reluctance to stand out in a crowd.
