He is also the current king in the play. Creon is a prideful ruler and is intolerant of anyone who views differently from him. He is only interested in maintaining order, rather than pursuing what is right. ]]> 2020-10-14 18:43:13 UTC https://padlet.com/4154935/4vwsbliekgtwtqik/wish/829891374 4154935 https://padlet.com/4154935/4vwsbliekgtwtqik/wish/829915437 In the play, Creon decides to give only Eteocles a proper burial because of his decision to fight for his nation. He decides that Polyneices, the traitor, should be left out on the battlefield to be consumed by carrion birds. After finding out Antigone had attempted to bury Polyneices, he has her sentenced to death by stoning, but later changes her sentencing and sends her to a cave to starve. He refuses to accept the fact that any of his decisions were wrong, ultimately resulting in the loss of his son and wife.]]> 2020-10-14 18:49:46 UTC https://padlet.com/4154935/4vwsbliekgtwtqik/wish/829915437 4154935 https://padlet.com/4154935/4vwsbliekgtwtqik/wish/829934710 Creon is solely driven by the need to maintain order in his society. He makes his judgements purely off of what he deems as correct and beneficial for him. He sentences Antigone to death because of her decision to disobey his laws and follow the gods' will. Creon also lets his pride influence many of his decisions. When confronted by Teiresias, he refuses to accept his prophecy and disregards all of his statements due to the fact that they contradicted his beliefs.]]> 2020-10-14 18:55:28 UTC https://padlet.com/4154935/4vwsbliekgtwtqik/wish/829934710 4154935 https://padlet.com/4154935/4vwsbliekgtwtqik/wish/829947754 The photo below depicts a mallet and represents law and order. Creon strives to maintain a lawful environment and order.]]> 2020-10-14 18:59:24 UTC https://padlet.com/4154935/4vwsbliekgtwtqik/wish/829947754 4154935 https://padlet.com/4154935/4vwsbliekgtwtqik/wish/829959895 The photo below shows a man plugging his ears as if he is ignoring somebody. This is similar to Creon's inability to take other ideas into consideration and his disregard for the fact that he may be wrong.]]> 2020-10-14 19:03:14 UTC https://padlet.com/4154935/4vwsbliekgtwtqik/wish/829959895 4154935 https://padlet.com/4154935/4vwsbliekgtwtqik/wish/829965648 I chose Creon to analyze because I simply found his character interesting. He is prideful and determined to do what he believes better suits his people. Creon is also interesting due the fact that his intolerance makes him a tragic character, as he is forced to live the rest of his life knowing that he caused the deaths of his wife and son.]]> 2020-10-14 19:05:00 UTC https://padlet.com/4154935/4vwsbliekgtwtqik/wish/829965648
