Character Analysis of Creon
After all of the confusion and corruption occurred, there is a vernal king for Thebes and that is Creon. In the Greek play, Antigone written by Sophocles, shows that Creon was a domain of great complexity. He set friendship but Creon feels that friendship would not keep his city standing therefore no one values friendship more highly than he but they must remember that friends get down at the risk of wrecking their Ship are not palpable friends at all. (Sc. 1 L. 32-35) Creon is a strong person and he believes in the reality of the society and how there needs to be rectitudes and regulations in set up to conduct correctly.For example, he set the laws and he has to abide by the law so he has to punish Antigone. Creon does not believe that deal is a force strong enough to fix problems but it is one of the causes of the problems, go join them, then if you /must sustain your love,/ Find it in snake pit (Sc. 2 L. 119-120) He doesnt have passion for the law breakers because that sole(prenominal) leads to corruption but Creon has respect for the true warriors, But whoever shows by develop and deed that he is on the side of the State he shall have my respect while he is living, and my reverence when he is dead, (Sc. L. 52-55) instead of those who surface against their own city. One example would be Eteocles and Polyneices, according to Creon, only Eteocles dies as a true warrior because he sided with his own city while his own brother, Polyneices, chose to rebel. Creon does not want to acknowledge Polyneices and so Polyneices is left to die a shameful death. Finally, Creon seems to be the type of man who holds grudges or even stubborn. He does not allow people to make amends once the drop away has been made.Creon is persistent that he is doing the right thing and an enemy is an enemy, even dead. (Sc. 2 L. 117) Creon is a character with many traits, like his value of friendship, and his respect to the warriors argue his city. Other traits may not be th e best but they make Creon who he is, he does not believe in using love as an excuse to rebel, and he is stubborn because he thinks that once an enemy, eer an enemy. There are many different traits of Creon that make him easier to distinguish from others.
