Journal entry 2 Antigone

Antigone
"Save yourself, I don't grudge your survival" (88, 624).
"I'll hate you all the more for silence-tell the world!" (64, 100-101)
Physical Appearance- moderate height, slight blond hair, soft facial features, around 16 years old, confident yet passionate voice.
Personality- fiery,passionate, yet loving, caring and reverent. Strong morals and stubborn resolve.
Why- Moderate height does not give a person a feeling of superiority or inferiority. Blond shows rebelliousness, more passionate color. Fiery and passionate are the defining qualities of Antigone.

Isemene
"Yes, if you can, but you're in love with impossibility" (64, 104)
"What do I care for life, cut off from you?" (87, 618)
Physical- 18, Slightly taller than Antigone, brunette with rich flowing hair, a little older features, yet still same softness, a little bit more developed and brown eyes, sweet voice.
Personality- Nice, passionate about family, hesitant with challenges, caring for sister.
Why- Slightly taller helps to establish the older sister persona. Brunettes feel a little more calmer, especially paired with brown eyes, but also can become passionate. Brown eyes also give soothing feel. Hesitancy shows how Isemine was in beginning, yet passion, to emphasize her later on. Sweet voice shows how Isemine just wants what is best for Antigone.

Creon
"What? The city is the king's- that's the law!" (97, 825)
" I warn you... a worthless woman in your house, a misery in your bed" (93, 725-726)
Physical- TALL, robust, slight pot belly, balding hair, dark brown hair with streaks of grey. Hard, steel eyes. Big nose, yet not huge, and regular eye shape. Muscular, yet showing signs of lack of working out; becoming out of shape. Booming voice.
Personality- Stubborn as heck, worried even more. Not trusting, second-guesser. Almost never happy.
Why- Booming voice establishes one in charge. Pot belly and degeneration of muscle show a luxurious, kingly life. Yet balding hair shows the stress the man is going through. Hard steel eyes to emphasize his stubbornness and one way of thinking.

Haemon
"Father, I'm you son... you in your wisdom set my bearings for me- I obey you" (93, 709-710)
"But if I seem young, look less to my years and more to what I do" (96, 815-816)
Physical- young, around 18, handsome, good build, short brown hair, deep, blue eyes, normal nose, not pointy or chunky.
Personality- Wise yet naive to situation of love, obeying of father, yet rebel with love. Very loving, and a little immature. Loyal to family and lover.
Why- Gives picture of a picturesque Greek Prince. Also, good build will help to get ladies, such as Antigone to love him more. Deep blue eyes and blue hair give off the romantic prince look. Immaturity personality helps to show age, and that emotions can blind him.

Sentry
"I didn't do it, didn't see who did- be fair, don't take it out on me" (70, 269-270)
"I'll never come back, you've seen the last of me. I'll saved, even now, and I never though, I never hoped-" (373-375)
Physical- lanky, not much muscle. 27 years old, in prime, yet heading towards old age. Only moderate height. Darting eyes, nasally voice, and a sharp nose. Short cropped hair.
Personality- shy, careful, slightly annoying, and apologetic.
Why- lanky look gives off inferiority as a person, as does not a lot of muscle. Moderate height lets others be higher and dominate him, yet allow him to do his job, as he can then tower over others. Darting eyes, nasally voice and sharp nose contribute to annoying feeling.

Leader of the Chorus
"Like father like daughter, passionate, wild... she hasn't learned to bend before adversity" (82, 525-527)
"You'd do well, my lord, if he's speaking to the point, to learn from him," (96, 810-811)
Physical- old, 60s, white hair/beard, kind of an old/grandfatherly voice, limp, shining teal eyes.
Personality- Compliant, passionate, chivalrous, believes in older traditions, yet is open to new ideas.
Why- Shining teal eyes show wisdom in words spoken. Limp provides a mean to give others a feeling of superiority over him, even though a limp is not all bad. Grandfather voice means the man will be heard, for the crowd will listen to the voice of someone wise. Compliant personality since the Leader needs to please just about everyone in the play.
