Paper Summary:
This paper looks at how Sophocles depicts the sharply contrasting female characters in his story, "Antigone", by creating a situation where both the characters have identical interests and must deal with the same life challenges. The paper analyzes and compares the responses of each sister to the difficult life situation imposed upon her and describes their characters based upon this analysis.From the Paper:
"Sophocles' Antigone is a story that has several strong characters, each set up cleverly in order to demonstrate the role that personality traits and the strength of conviction in ideals plays in determining individual decisions. Thus, if Creon's son Haemon serves as a contrast of wisdom to his own display of pride and arrogance, Antigone's sister Ismene acts as a foil in defining Antigone's character and strength of conviction in her ideals."More papers on Sophocles's "Antigone":
