∙ 12y agoPersonal versus practical and long versus short termexplains the conflict of values and ideas between Antigone and Ismene in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone appreciates divinely approved standards of conduct and family life whereas her sister, Princess Ismene, values civil obedience and survival. Personal ties therefore conflict with practicality. The different values influence the way in which the sisters perceive situations. For example, Antigone looks to the wider picture and the longer term by considering the impact of behavior in life on status in the Underworld of the afterlife. In contrast, Ismene prioritizes the short term since she is a survivalist.
