Contrasting Characters:
Antigone and Ismene, Creon and Haemon,
Antigone and her sister have very opposite views on the world. Ismene is beautiful, Antigone is plain. Ismene wants to do what is right by the world; Antigone wants to do what is right by her heart. Ismene cares for things of the world like makeup and clothes, Antigone does not. When Antigone tells Ismene her plan to bury their dead brother, Ismene is reluctant and afraid of the consequences. When Antigone realizes that her sister will be of no help, she goes and buries Polynices on her own. Ismene and Antigone's personalities contrast in morals and rebellion. Antigone has strong morals, but is very rebellious. Ismene also has strong morals, but her want to obey the law overrides her want to bury her brother.
Creon and Haemon. Father and Son. They are so closely related, yet so different in personalities and values. Creon wants to marry Antigone, he loves her. Haemon wants what’s best for his kingdom, and is willing to take out Antigone if she interferes.
