Answer 1

• She's timid compared to Antigone, who is very bold.
• She gives more weight to civil law over moral principles than does Antigone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ismene and Antigone are sisters and the daughters of Oedipus. Antigone however, is the bolder of the two and follows mora principles over the law.

Ismene on the other hand, remains in the shadow of her sister as she is more timid because she believes that she has a certain place in society and does not want to ruffle any feathers.

She also tries to follow the law over moral principles as she believes the law to be absolute which is why she does not follow Antigone's plan to bury their brother as she did not want to go against the King's proclamation.
