I disagree with Ismene being motherly. She seems to be more childish. Such as when she wants to be executed as well instead of be left alone without Antigone. "How can I live alone, without her?" (Pg. 89). She seems to assume the role of a little sister because she is so attached to Antigone to the point where she would die with her.
I agree with Ismene being motherly if you want to argue that she is the older sibling, but if you think that she is the younger sibling then i think it is incorrect, it just depends upon your point of view.
I really think you gave enough information to where I could actually picture the characters in my mind. You chose people that I could really see being those characters in the story. I also definately agree with Ismene being motherly =)!
Nice, I can deffinitely see kate Winslet play Antigone as well as your choice for Creon, Ian McKellen seems the perfect fit for that role. Good job on backing up your points.
