IB WLE Help (Antigone)

I'm doing my world literature essay on Antigone by Sophocles, about how Antogone and her sister represent two different schools of thought (for women) in Ancient Greece. (one was docile and shy, one was a rebel). Now that I have my thesis, how do I go about it? #confused
I'd come up with a question using your idea such as 'How has the author used characterisation to represent different schools of thought on women in Ancient Greece?' or something along those lines.
You then just need to discuss the idea by directly quoting from the text (Antigone) to show how Sophocles uses the characters to represent the schools of thought. So when you quote, pick apart the words used and any metaphors/similes, comment on their effect and how they represent the schools of thought.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help, haven't studied this work myself.
