Character Analysis of Antigone, Ismene, and Haemon

Please following the instructions posted below and form a short character analysis, avoid plagiarism.

Antigone Character Analysis

Although the basic plot of Sophocles’ Antigone remains unchanged, Anouilh takes liberties with his characters’ descriptions, words, attitudes, and motivations.

Today’s assignment asks you to analyze the main characters, Antigone, Ismene, and Haemon**, in an attempt to understand the significance of these changes.

For each character, I’d like you to answer the following questions—with concrete quotes and/or paraphrases from the text if possible 

As always, feel free to be creative with your responses. As long as you can back up your analysis with textual evidence, your interpretation is valid!

• How is the character described?

• How do they act?
  
  
• What do their interactions with the other characters reveal about them?

• Any additional observations, insights, or ideas?

**Although you won’t need to analyze Creon for this assignment—as he appears later in the play—I strongly suggest asking similar questions of his character as well!!
