In her plea to Creon, what does Ismene suggest about the consequences of executing Antigone?

In Ismene’s plea to Creon, she highlights the idea that executing Antigone would have profound personal ramifications for Creon, particularly regarding his own family. By pointing out that he would be responsible for the death of Antigone, who is engaged to his son Haemon, Ismene underscores the emotional and relational fallout that such an execution would incite. This plea serves to remind Creon of his individual relationships and the potential for grief and loss, emphasizing that the consequences reach beyond political decisions to touch on familial ties.

While other options suggest broader social consequences or potential political repercussions, Ismene's argument specifically ties the tragedy of Antigone's execution to the personal cost for Creon, particularly in relation to his son’s future happiness and well-being.
