Explanation

Antigone is the name of a tragedy written by Sophocles, based on the myth of Antigone. In this tragedy, the sisters Antigone and Ismene find themselves in trouble when they learn about the death of Polynices and the prohibition of King Creon to bury her body. Faced with this decision, each one has a different position. While, Ismene did not dare to disobey Creon, despite the pain she felt for Polynices; Antigone had the firm intention of disobeying Creon's command and burying Polynices. This means they have contrasting actions and personalities, and Ismene's character being a coward is opposite from the archetype of rebel and heroin shown by Antigone. According to the above, the correct answer is A. Ismene represents a coward in comparison to Antigone’s heroine.
