Ismene is fearful of breaking the law and facing death; however, she is not fearful of any punishment that may occur after death as a result of her disrespecting the gods. In addition to fear, she makes the argument that, because she is a woman, she should not be taking a stand against men.
Ismene feels that human authority has more power than the gods; therefore, she will submit to Creon's decree forbidding the burial of her brother Polyneices. She plans to seek the forgiveness of the gods for her decision but does not seem to fear them. In addition to fearing Creon, she does not feel that she is strong enough to take a stand against the law. In contrast, Antigone does not fear human authority and chooses to follow the gods. Unlike her sister, she displays courage and strength.

Answer:

The conflict the sisters are experiencing is ironically similar to the brothers' conflict. Both Antigone and Polyneices are loyal to themselves and the gods more than the king and his subjects. On the other hand, Ismene and Eteocles experience an overwhelming need for civil obedience. Both sibling pairs undergo stresses within their relationships due to conflicting perspectives.

Explanation:

Plagiarism, in general, is a term for using other people's ideas as your own, without citing the source. The rule is that, if we want to include quotes from other works in our own work, we need to both include the quotation marks and acknowledge the source.
Depending on the citation style that we opt for, we can acknowledge the source either in the text itself, in a footnote or in a list of references. However, regardless of the style, we must always include the quotation marks when we repeat the exact words of an author (if we paraphrase them, we do not put the quotation marks).
In the case above, the quotation marks are not used, which is why we consider it a plagiarism.
