Antigone claims that she has no friends to mourn her. Is this statement true?

Antigone's statement that she has no friends to mourn her can be interpreted as a reflection of her feelings of isolation in the face of her tragic choices and the consequences that follow. While she does express a sense of abandonment, particularly by her community and by Creon’s decree against her actions, the presence of her sister, Ismene, provides a counterpoint to her feeling of loneliness.

Ismene's willingness to stand by Antigone, despite the danger, highlights the bond between sisters and the loyalty that remains even when the rest of the world seems to turn away. Despite Antigone's protestation about being alone, Ismene's concern for her sister’s fate shows that there are still those who care deeply for her. Thus, the assertion that her sister will mourn her captures the essence of familial loyalty that persists amidst her tragic resolve.
