Journal 11

Antigone:
"I'll hate you all the more for silence- tell the world!" (Pg. 64).
"No, he has no right to keep me from my own" (Pg. 61).

Physical Description: Red hair, in her teens or older, slim

Personality: fiery and bold personality but still acts morally

Actress: Kate Blanchett (made to look younger) based on her performance in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button; she seems like she can act with a very strong-minded personality, but still act morally as well

Ismene:
"So fiery- and it ought to chill your heart" (Pg. 64).
"I'd do them no dishonor... but defy the city? I have no strength for that" (Pg. 63).

Physical Description: younger than Antigone, brown or dirty blonde hair, slim, in her teens or a bit older

Personality: very innocent, very attached to her sister, follows the rules and fearful of the consequences of not following the rules

Actress: Alexis Bledel; she plays Rory in Gilmore Girls and her character is extremely innocent, afraid of breaking the rules, very attached to her mother; she plays this part perfectly

Haemon:
"No marriage could ever mean more to me than you" (Pg. 93).
"It's no city at all, owned by one man alone" (Pg. 97).

Physical Description: brown hair, slim but muscular build, young

Personality: obedient to his father, although he disagrees with him at times; his father is the most important thing to him

Acter: Zac Efron; he has played characters in the past who have been very loyal to their parents, but sometimes disagrees with them and goes against what they want, he was successful in these roles

Creon:
"And is Thebes about to tell me how to rule?" (Pg. 97).
"What? The city is the king's- that's the law!" (Pg. 97).

Physical Description: older, tall, intimidating by his build and his height

Personality: intimidating also in his personality, tyrranical, doesn't listen to others or want input from others, always wants to do things himself and for himself

Actor: Vin Diesel; he can be intimidating in the way he looks and in the movie The Pacifier, his personality is intimidating as well

Leader:
"You'd do well, my lord, if he's speaking to the point, to learn from him, and you, my boy, from him" (Pg. 96).
"A temper young as his... hurt him once, he may do something violent" (Pg. 100).

Physical Description: average looking, slim build, brown hair

Personality: gives advice, seems to be the knower of everything

Actor: Adam Sandler; in some of the movies he does like Mr. Deeds his character helps others

Sentry:
"But set me free, it's only right- I'm rid of this dreadful business once for all" (Pg. 79).
"There. Is that plain and clear?" (Pg. 79).

Physical Description: seems to be just another citizen of Thebes, slim build, nothing really special about him, maybe even almost weak

Personality: only cares about the consequences that will affect himself, kind of rude shown above in the way he speaks to Creon, almost like Creon is stupid

Actor: Charlie Sheen; in Two and a Half Men, he plays an extremely selfish and rude character, and does it well, making him perfect for this part

  1. I agree with your choices for Ismene, Haemon, and the Sentry completely. For your choice of Creon, I don't really agree, because to me Vin Diesel actually seems confident of his power and strength, whereas Creon seems to be more indignant and insecure because of his lack of strength.
    "Just as much, I'd say,/as a twisted mind is the worst affliction known"(113).

  2. I agree with your people, and I do think that he is a good choice for Creon. They are both leaders, and you want a strong leader to rule for you. So I think you hit them on the mark!

  3. Good job on supporting your choices of characters, I agree on all of your characters but I find it a bit hard to see Vin Diesel playing Creon as well. Other then that though, I completely agree with your points.
