Does Ismene die?

Question

Antigone does, Kreons wife does, Haimon does. Does Ismene?

Answer 1

Creon intends to kill Ismene along with Antigone, and says "he'll never save those two young girls from death". However, when the chorus asks him if he really intends to kill both he says "No, not her, the one who's hands are clean-you're quite right". As far as I am aware this is the last comment in the play on Ismene's fate, and therefore I would assume that at the end of the play she is still alive.
