How might we interpret Creon's character psychologically? What person characteristics lead to the decisions he makes?

# data[].attributes.body
He is a very paranoid person, and if he were to live in modern day, he would most likely be diagnosed with some kind of paranoia disorder. His pride takes better judgement of him quite a lot, and controls how he rules. He wants to make sure that he is the only ruler, and in a way, seems like he thinks he is better than the gods. I also wonder if he purposefully suggested his nephews to share the crown, knowing that whoever ruled first, wouldn't give up their throne and also knowing that death would most likely be the end, letting him take the throne.

1. Yes he does as you can see in the play he compares himself to the gods.
2. We think of him as a cruel ruler, making irrational and cruel decisions.
3. I think he deserves sympathy as he is very obviously suffering from paranoia, but that doesn't mean he deserves forgiveness
4. I think Creon probably has a mental illness, perhaps paranoid personality disorder? This leads him to make these irrational choices, such as sentencing both Ismene and Antigone to death.
5. Antigone is a very proud character. She makes a promise and keeps it even if it means death.
6. We should regard Antigone as a reckless character. While we can learn from her to stand up for what we believe in, we should teach to care for our own well being as well.
7. Both Antigone and Creon are paranoid and prideful. They both fear the gods, and they both want the love of their people.
