what does thier argument reveal about the personality of each character
Antigone doesn't have a reckless nature to reveal. For recklessness involves action without thought of the consequences. And Antigone always is aware of the consequences of disobedience of the inhumane, unfair, unjust, unpopular law that her uncle, Theban King Creon, issues. Instead, she may be described as a risk-taker who goes ahead with what she considers the morally correct choice after weighing the possible consequences.
That she is the main character is the reason why Antigone is the protagonist in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the protagonist is the main character around whom the play's action revolves. The protagonist is heroic in doing good deeds. This describes Antigone, who is both the main character and the principal female character. She does good deeds, because she respects her family, the gods and Theban traditions.

That she numbers among the play's cast of characters and that her life comes to an unfortunate end is the reason why Antigone can be considered a tragic character in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Antigone is a main character who influences and is affected by the interactions among the other main characters. Great changes can be expected of her as Princess of Thebes, and yet her life is cut short, suddenly and cruelly. What she does therefore defines her as a main character and what happens to her therefore defines Antigone as tragic.

Antigone is a young girl in Oedipus and she has no lines. It is not until Oedipus at Colonus that her character begins to develop.

Other people in a story can't reveal characterization. Only the character in the story, or the narrator can reveal character.
That her behavior leaves Creon no choice is the way in which the chorus first characterizes Antigone's punishment in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus does not sympathize with Theban Princess Antigone. The members insist that she is every bit as proud, stubborn, uncompromising, uncontrolled and unlucky as her father, disgraced Theban King Oedipus. They make no mention about her courage and a lot of mention about her perceived character flaws.
Questioning and passionate describe Antigone's attitude and character in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone evidences her questioning attitude when she refuses to something as correct just because a king says so. She manifests her passionate character when she refuses to abandon her convictions, her family and her gods. For example, Antigone questions the correctness of obeying a royal edict that contradicts divine will and threatens cherished Theban traditions.
To show that is Antigone is both the main female character and the protagonist and to foreshadow her suffering as the tragic hero are the purposes served by her appearance at the beginning of "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone's being the first character to be seen and to be heard in this case is symbolic of her role as the main character and as the tragic hero. That Ismene is second to be seen and to be heard is symbolic of her status as a supporting character. That the two discuss how they will respond, or not, to a challenge foreshadows the heroic Antigone's tragic fate.
The title of the play 'Antigone' has significance as the name of the main character and as the reference to what the main character does. The name 'Antigone' means someone who fights against someone or something. That precisely is what the main character does. Antigone fights against what she perceives as a temporary, manmade law that violates the enduring, god-given laws by which Thebans live their lives and make ready for their deaths.
