I believe Creon has had the most impact within the play. He takes a very big part considering that because of him the conflict between Antigone and Ismene is created. In the text, lines 232-233, Creon states that Polyneices will have "...no burial mound, no funeral rites, and no lament." This begins the conflict between Antigone and her sister. However this also calls attention to Creon in the form of indirect characterization. We see insight to the beliefs of Creon, and how he thinks. He believes that Polyneices does not deserve a burial due to being dishonorable, while the other brother had lived honorably. However both brothers died the same way, but for different reasons. It can be argued that Creon is either unfair, or relies too strongly on his bias-ness. Indirect characterization is shown in his punishments for traitors. They will die. Hes not giving people a chance.

Antigone played a big role in this story with indirect characterization and changing the story. She was very brave and courageous. She stuck to what she believed in and managed to do it in a way no one would know. In lines 282-286, it says "All right, I'll tell you. It's about the corpse. Someone has buried it and disappeared after spreading thirsty dust on to the flesh and undertaking all appropriate rights." (Guard 282-286) The text also says "Whoever did it left no trace." (Guard 290-291) While doing this, Antigone risked being killed just to honor her brother and bury him.

# data[].attributes.body
Creon would be the one to have the biggest impact. This is because Antigone and Ismene had to bury their brother but Creon said he had died a shameful death so he was not be able to be buried in the ground as a proper burial. if Polyneices were to not die a shameful death then the other brother would have died a shameful death instead. In lines 86-96 Antigone was getting upset and wanted to go against Creon and just give her brother the proper burial.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel as though Antigone has had the biggest impact on this story because of how hard she had fought for her brother. In lines 31-37, she explains that Polyneices is being dismissed and she is not content with this decision. Also, she is not happy with Ismene and how she won't fight for her own blood brother.

# data[].attributes.body
Creon has had the biggest impact so far because of his his orders. on page 225 Antigone says that "He's honoring one with a full funeral and treating the other one disgracefully."(lines 26-27). this shows that he is determined to honor his traditions. Can also bee seen as a strong ruler because his rule is followed and most people are not prepared to go against him (this does have one exception with Antigone) .

# data[].attributes.body
I believe Creon is having the greatest impact on the story. He is having the greatest impact because his belief on who should have the burial is causing conflict with Antigone and Ismene. "Look-what's Creon doing with our two brothers? He's honoring one with a full funeral and treating the other one disgracefully!" Line 25-27

# data[].attributes.body
In the parts of the play we are reading, Creon has not appeared once in the play yet he has still had the greatest impact as shown by this part of the conversation between Antigone and Ismene, "For Creon this matter's serious. Anyone who acts against the order will be stoned to death before the city." (pg. 255).  Creon is very clearly an obstacle to Antigone giving her brother a burial. If Creon wasn't present, there wouldn't be a conflict

# data[].attributes.body
Based on what I've read so far I'd say Creon has had the biggest impact in this play. Creon is the whole reason why Antigone has to go bury her brother Polyneices. "What's Creon doing with out two brothers? he's honouring one with a full funeral and treating the other disgracefully!" If Creon never did this there wouldn't be much of a story

# data[].attributes.body
Creon has a huge part in the story because he is the reason there is a story. My textual evidence is "Look-what's Creon doing with our two brothers? He's honoring one with a full funeral and treating the other one disgracefully!"(25-27). This shows indirect characterization.

# data[].attributes.body
Some indirect characterization was provided near the end of the section on page 256. When Antigone says "I'll hate you if you're going to talk that way," it shows that she is a stubborn, determined character without having to blatantly say it.

# data[].attributes.body
Creon is the character that has the highest impact so far. From lines 324-326 he says, "Stop now---before what you're about to say enrages me completely and reveals that you're not only old but stupid, too." Implying that he is powerful over everyone and everyone should revolve around satisfying him, if he is not happy, then no one else should be.

# data[].attributes.body
The guard seems  to be having the greatest impact at this point because he has brought the news of Polyneices being buried, which starts a problem in the plot.  The gaurd's character first seems to be scared of Creon and admitting to him what has happened, in lines 282-285, he says "All right, I'll tell you, It's about the corpse.  Someone has buried it and disappeared, after spreading thirsty dust onto the flesh and undertaking all appropriate rights."  Here, after appearing before Creon out of breath, the guard is finally able to announce the news to him that Polyneices has been buried and they don't know who has done it.  He seems so fear Creon, knowing that he will have punishment simply for being a messenger. However, in lines 372-373, the guard says "The man who did it- he upsets your mind. I offend your ears." To me, the guard is growing to almost be sassy with Creon, insulting him by pointing out that he is only the messenger, and that it is foolish to even be upset with him, instead of the man who committed the crime.

# data[].attributes.body
Creon is written to be a very proud and protective king of his country. In lines 210-218, he speaks about how he would never betray his country and that anyone who is an enemy of the state, is his own personal enemy as well. This shows his pride and loyalty to the state. For example, his nephews Eteocles and Polynieces both killed each other in a war over the country. Since Eteocles was trying to protect the city against his brother, Creon describes the proper burial that will be held for him in lines 219-229. As for Polynieces, "he'll be left unburied, his body there for birds and dogs to eat, a shameful reminder of his fate." (lines 234-336). This proves that his respect will only be for those who respect his state.

# data[].attributes.body
I happen to believe that Antigone has the biggest influence so far. Many examples of indirect characterization show that as well. It is her drive to honor her brother and not leave him in the shadows, that turns the plot and causes conflict. Antigone felt ashamed that her one of her brothers was looked down upon, for something she believed was an equal act, and that does not deserve a punishment of a burying. Lines 89-90 "I'll still bury him. It would be fine to die while doing that (Springboard 256)."

# data[].attributes.body
So far Creon has made the biggest impact because without him the main problem of the story wouldn't exist. Creon's rule of having no burial for Antigone and Ismene's brother caused a major problem. In lines 283-286 Creon figures out about their brother getting buried and becomes infuriated

# data[].attributes.body
The fact that we are able to derive what kind of people the characters in this play are is all because of what Polyneices did first, "As for his brother -- that Polyneices, who returned from exile, eager to wipe out in all-consuming fire his ancestral city and its native gods" (226-229), attacking his own blood and sealing his own fate not to be buried. This allows Antigone's traits to show, someone that cause more for her family than the government, Creon's traits, strict but still fair, and even the guards who supposedly are shown to be greedy. Polyneices causes problems in his life, but even more are caused from his corpse.

# data[].attributes.body
The Guard appears at the beginning of the plot with shameful news to report to Creon. From lines 282-285, the Guard had informed Creon that "someone" had buried the corpse and disappeared. But as the Guard was describing what he had encountered, Creon realized that the Guard was holding back his tongue. Creon suspected that the Guard was paid to deceive him and to keep the truth hidden from him. "I well know that these guards were led astray - such men urged them to carry out this act for money... But those who carry out such acts for cash sooner or later see how for their crimes they pay the penalty... You'll know more men are ruined than are saved when they earn profits from dishonest schemes." (Lines 341-343; 351-353; 365-366) The Guard had taken regard of Creon's speech on money and confessed to Creon on what had truly had happened. "My lord, human beings should never take an oath there's something they'll not do... Back then, the threats you made brought me a lot of grief... And so I have come back, breaking that oath I swore. I bring this girl, captured while she was honoring the grave... As for me, by rights I'm free and clear of this trouble." (Lines 436-439; 443-445; 449-450) Overall, the Guard is a huge asset to this story because, without him confessing what had truly happened concerning the buried corpse, none of this information would be known to Creon that the young girl, Antigone, had been the person that had buried the corpse.

# data[].attributes.body
So far, from what we've read, Creon hasn't had much time in the story, but because of him the conflict between Antigone and Ismene is created which I would say has the greatest impact in the story. In lines 232-233, Creon says that Polyneices will "... have no burial mound, no funeral rites, and no lament." He's the one who had decided to leave Polyneices body out in the open, making Antigone be the one to decide to bury him. The quote shows his characterization through what he says, revealing how important honor is to him. Because Eteocles had tried to save the city, Creon is giving him the burial. Besides that, he also makes a point to tell the Guard that whoever disobeys his orders will have to face death in line 253 which shows through speech how dictatorial he is. It also occurred to me that Ismene will be in trouble too because she had known about it. During lines 204-205, Creon states, "...but through fear keeps his mouth forever shut, such a man is the very worst of men," which directly relates to how Ismene knows about what Antigone is planning to do with Polyneices' body, and shows how Creon feels about dishonesty and loyalty.

# data[].attributes.body
i think he has had the biggest impact because even though he has had little part in the story he has created the problem that Antigone is willing to disobey him in order to have both of her brothers have honorable burials. in likes 26-29 she talks about creon only wanting to honor one and treat the other "disgracefully"

# data[].attributes.body
As of yet, Creon has had the biggest impact on the story because he was the one who declared the method of honoring the brothers who died, and consequently he was the one who caused Antigone to act and feel the way she does. On lines 208 to 212, Creon says "Let Zeus know, the God who always watches everything, I would not stay silent if i saw disaster moving here against the citizens, a threat to their security." This sentence showcases his personality to be very self assured and determined, as he is sure of himself that he would accomplish these things and keep the citizens safe, and also determined to do better than those before him.

# data[].attributes.body
Antigone has the biggest indirect impact on the story so far. Creon doesn't want to bury Polyneices because he died a dishonorable death. When Antigone goes to tell Ismene if she will join her in giving Polyneices a proper burial Ismene declines. With this Ismene tries to convince Antigone not to go through with the act. In lines 86-96 we see Antigone is loyal to her brother, she is determined to give Polyneices a proper burial.

# data[].attributes.body
Although the play is named Antigone, I feel that  Creon is the character who has made the biggest impact in the story thus far. He is indirectly characterized when Antigone is discussing with Ismene about how Creon wasn't burying Polyneices. this shows that either he is Loyal to the law or discriminator towards Polyneices. "Look-what's Creon doing with our two brothers? He's honouring one with a full funeral and treating the other one disgracefully!"(25-27). without Creon the plot wouldn't be developing.

# data[].attributes.body
The Guard is having the most impact because he is the one who has informed Creon Polyneices' corpse has been buried. When he says, "It's about the corpse. Someone has buried it and disappeared, after spreading thirsty dust onto the flesh and undertaking all appropriate rites," (Sophocles pg.264) he sets off a chain of reactions, specifically from Creon. Creon then goes crazy, saying how the man who buried the body has been bribed and he will suffer more than just death, for death is just to easy for that man.

# data[].attributes.body
Creon seems to be having the most impact in the reading as of now. His ruthless determination to solidly uphold his title of king can be seen during lines 208-218: "Let Zues know,/ the god who always watches everything,/ I would not stay silent if I saw disaster/ moving here against the citizens,/ a threat to their security. For anyone/ who acts against the state, its enemy,/ I'd never make my friend. For I know well/ our country is a ship which keeps us safe,/ and only when it sails its proper course/ do we make friends. These are the principles/ I'll use in order to protect our state."

# data[].attributes.body
Thus far in the play Creon has had the biggest effect on every character. He has affected Ismene and Antigone by remembering their brothers in two different ways, "He's honouring one with a full funeral and treating the other one disgracefully!" (Sophocles 255). This shows that Creon doesn't care that he'll dishonor a man and his family if he thinks he's doing whats right. He's also disrupted the whole community of the guards by threatening them. He is also a huge jerk when doing so, "But i find your voice so irritating, don't you realize that?" (Sophocles 266). He simply belittles this guard because he was angry. This shows a lot of Creon's true colors.

# data[].attributes.body
Creon Has the biggest indirect impact on the story so far. Because antigone and ismene want to bury their brother but Creon forbid it because her brother died a shameful death. . But, I personally think the part that most impacted me was lines 283-287 Creon found out that the corpse had been buried and want's to figure out why someone would bury the body and who it was in the first place.

# data[].attributes.body
Antigone has made the greatest impact on the story so far because she decides to go against the law to bury her brother Polyneices. by doing so, she causes the main issue of the story. In lines 56-58, Antigone tells her sister, Ismene, "I'll do my duty to my brother- and yours as well, if you're not prepared to. I won't be caught betraying him" (Sophocles 256). This shows that she is loyal to her brother and determined to give him a burial of some sort, regardless of Creon's law against it.

# data[].attributes.body
In lines 179-184, Creon is described as bringing good fortune to the land by the chorus leader. The chorus leader is also skeptical of his plans and what laws he might enforce. Him and the people are curious as to why he is holding a special meeting. "Thanks to the gods, who've brought about our new good fortune."(Sophocles' Antigone lines 179-184).

# data[].attributes.body
In lines 89-92, Antigone says to Ismene,

"I'll still bury him.  It would be fine to die
while doing that.  I'll lie there with him,
with a man I love, pure and innocent,
for all my crime.  My honours for the dead."
(Springboard 256)

This is an example of indirect characterization of Antigone, specifically through her speech (and later, her actions).  It shows how bold, determined, and loyal Antigone was; after all, she was ready to risk a death sentence to properly honor her dead brother.  Antigone's loyalty to her brother was more powerful than her commitment to the law and to Creon. Her decision to bury Polyneices was the main event in the entire drama Antigone.  She is the one who causes the conflict, so Antigone is the character with the greatest impact on the story.
Also, Antigone is obviously the main character because the whole tragedy is named for her.

# data[].attributes.body
As I continued to read the play, I believe the character Antigone is having the most influential impact so far in the story because of her actions right now in the story. In the beginning of the play, Antigone talks with her sister, Ismene, about her plan to bury her brother Polyneices because Creon refuses to bury Polyneices, since he died a "dishonored man's death." In lines 282-286, states Antigone's loyalty and commitment to bury her brother, " All right, I'll tell you. It's about the corpse. Someone has buried it and disappeared, after spreading thirsty dust onto the flesh and undertaking all appropriate rites. What are you saying? What man dare this?" (Lines 283-286). This shows that Antigone did follow through with her plans and she successful on executing her objective, which caused Creon to become angry and demands for the culprit of the crime to be found; Creon orders for the Guard to find the culprit. Therefore, Antigone's action so far in the story has impacted Creon in stopping his current progress.

# data[].attributes.body
At this point in the play Creon seems to have made the greatest impact. lines 355-358 Creon states that, "I swear to you on oath - unless you find the one whose hands really buried him, unless you bring him here before my eyes, then death for you will never be enough." IN this quote Creon is stating how much power he has over the guard through his words. He is promising that if the one who buried Polynices is not found and brought to him, Creon has told him that death is not enough. In saying this he is telling the guard that his disappointment in him will be so vast that it will follow him to his grave, this again showing that he feels he has control and is more powerful than anyone else.

# data[].attributes.body
In line 99- 101 the text states "I'm going now to make a burial mound for my dear brother". This shows that Antigone is dedicated and loyal to her dead brother that she is willing to go against one to bury her other brother and when she actually pulled off burying her brother that shows she is smart because she didn't leave a trace.

# data[].attributes.body
Antigone's characterization is modeled through a lot of her dialogue. Such as "Well when my strength is gone, then I will give up." Or "I'll hate you if you're going to talk that way. And you'll rightly earn the loathing of the dead. So leave me and my foolishness alone--we'll get through this thing. I won't suffer anything as bad as a disgraceful death." She is very stubborn and determined and in these instances lashes out upon her sister Ismene for not believing the same morals that she believes in. She has the biggest impact because it is her actions that cause Creon to come to great power.

# data[].attributes.body
At the moment, the guard has the greatest impact because he provides a strong opposing view to Creon. In the text it says" How strange and sad when the one who sorts this all out get it all wrong."For example, the guard explains that Polyneices being buried wasn't their fault and that Creon's theory about money being the cause is wrong. The guard's contrary statement brings the Chorus to also doubt if that was Polyneices death; they say perhaps that is how the Gods wanted it to be.

# data[].attributes.headline
(Chris)Creon has a big impact as a character of Antigone when he states the following, "Don't yield to those who contravene my orders" (line 251). This shows that he will not show mercy to anyone he feels disrespects him. With this quote it also shows the power he has or will have against the people of Thebes.

He has had the biggest impact so far because Antigone and Ismene want to bury their brother but Creon forbids it. When the guard isn't paying attention and the body is buried, he gets upset. His rules have been broken. Lines 379-382 show that he is tired of playing games and suffering will be done.

# data[].attributes.body
Even though he has only been in a small part of the play, he has made the biggest impact this far in the story because it is his rule that the entire plot is based on. Creon's rule is that only one brother may be buried and this brings up conflict in the family. In  the first scene Creon is mentioned a lot by the sisters because Antigone wants to break his rule.

# data[].attributes.body
Creon is having the biggest impact at this point of the play. The Chorus doesn't find Creon orders justifiable. He he makes him self look bad and  unlikable for his actions. In lines 252 - 255, Chorus leader: " No one is such a fool that he loves death."
Creon: " Yes that will be his full reward, indeed. And yet men have often been destroyed because they hoped to profit in some ways. "

She is sister of the two brothers who have kill each other. She hears how only one brother is going to have a funeral , while the other doesn't Antigone knows what the punishment is if one goes against the law. Antigone doesn't care. Her brothers are family and they have to be treated like family. In lines 20-56, the two sisters are having a conversation about their brothers and about the plan Antigone has to bury the other brother not getting a funeral. Later on in the play, in the lines 273-285 , we can see the guard telling Creon how someone took the corpse of the other brother and buried it.

# data[].attributes.body
He is having the greatest impact as of this point because the new rule that he makes is what the entire plot is based on. He will bury Eteocles but not Polyneices. In lines 234-241

# data[].attributes.body
From lines 208-212 he says,"Let Zeus know, the god who always watches everything, I would not stay silent if I saw disaster moving here against the citizens, a threat to their security." By saying this he's showing how how dedicated he is to Thebes and it's citizens and will stop at nothing to protect them. He seems to be the character with the biggest impact so far because he was the one that decided whether or not Polyneices would be buried which started the whole conflict with Antigone. He also has the authority to punish Antigone if he finds her burying Polyneices which could start more conflict later.

# data[].attributes.body
In the text it says "A man who thinks more highly of a friend than of his country , means nothing to me( Lines 206-208). So this shows how Creon is more expectant of those to put the land of Thebes before anything, loyalty to the land is the most important to him. It also shows how easily irritated he gets as it says "You hedge so much. Clearly you have news of something ominous"(lines 278-279). It also says"Why not say it and then go--Just leave"(line 281).

# data[].attributes.body
Though Creon may not be the most favorable character or a likable character at all, he is indeed having the greatest impact in the play as of this point. In lines 251-255, Creon and Chorus Leader have the following conversation, "CREON: Don't yield to those who contravene my orders. CHORUS LEADER: No one is such a fool that he loves death. CREON: Yes, that will be his full reward, indeed. And yet men have often been destroyed because they hoped to profit in some way" (Sophocles' Antigone lines 251-255). These lines use an example of indirect characterization as Creon's maliciousness shows as he explains how strong and dangerous he is as the new reign of Thebes.
