Antigone and Ismene:
We focused on finding out the relationship between Antigone and Ismene and the different characteristics they have and how they disagree.
We explored the characters practically by getting into pairs and exploring how Antigone and Ismene differ and we thought about the characters emotions as well as how that scene would be set and what it would lead to.
We discovered that the two sisters had a lot of trust before this talk happened. Because Antigone went to Ismene for help it shows she trusts Ismene with important things which shows that the are close. However we also fid out that they both have different view on Creon's rules'. Antigone ants to go against them, but Ismene doesn't want to disobey him. Therefore this lead to the to sisters in arguments.
This linked to the Historical context because it had shown that women were lower class and didn't have a voice therefore Ismene is a perfect example in this.
Antigone and Creon:
We focused on finding the relationship between these two characters. We discovered that Antigone had the lower status and Creon had a lot more power than Antigone. We learnt that Antigone was strong minded and was true to her heart.
We explored the characters practically be acting out a scene between them two when Antigone asked Creon if she could bery her brother. My partner was Eric.
We discovered hat Antigone and Creon didn't have a great relationship (even though Creon was Antigone's uncle). This helped us to understand how the character felt to one another so we could stretch our acting even further. Creon had the higher status over Antigone, however Antigone wanted to prove her point to Creon and stood up to him. This portrayed Antigone as stubborn.
This linked to historical context because it proves that women had the lower status even Creon says "I will not have no sort of woman telling me what to do".
