Creon's Pride

Through Greek literature, blind prophet Tiresia appeared several times. In Sophocles 'plays' Oedipus the King 'and' Antigone ', Tiresia tried to warn Thebes' King of their cheating but they were in vain. In Antigone, the king of Thebes, Kryon, refused to infer Tirecia after killing her brothers and sentenced him to death for Antonio Niece. Throughout this article, Tiresias and Chorus helped Kryon to see the mistakes he made, but his obstinacy was invisible. When Tiresias last spoke with Creon, it seemed initially that Creon would follow the advice provided by the prophet.

Kryon has a big flaw that led to his downfall. Kryon's main deficiency is his pride and stubbornness. Kryon's pride and stubbornness has been proved through drama / stories. Despite his son committed suicide, he could not get advice from his lawyers or his people, not to mention his own son, but until Crew was "knocked" a certain meaning, I insisted on his gun. Please say that the house of Kryon will be cursed. He will pay "the body is the body, the body is the body". His crime is to keep Polynieces away from the gods and make Antigone die soon.

Kryon is partially responsible for his downfall. Tiresias warned Creon about his actions. He predicted that one of the people of Cleone himself would die, and the city and himself were miserable. This will happen. But thanks to Kryon's pride, he could not understand his idea. Kryon told Teiresias that even though he got the help of Zeus himself Kryon would not be shaking contaminated due to the burial of Polyneices. In addition, after Teiresias left, Creon said to his choir "The submission is terrible." Even in the face of real prophecy, he refused to yield. His arrogance and excessive pride brought about his lack of sight and wisdom, which brought his own misfortune. Teiresias foretoldly predicted "Your actions are your violence." This shows that the future fate of Kryon is his own hand. After "your actions" death itself "ambushes" him. Finally, Kryon himself believes his downfall is in his hands.

Like "King Oedipus", we saw the pride of the story. Both Antigon and Cleon are very proud people, Antigon's pride is part of the law that does not want to yield to humanity. The pride here is the source of strength and self destruction. Kryon and Antigone paid high expenses to achieve the goal. They are reluctant to change themselves because they do not tolerate other opinions, and the heroes are in a tragic end. At the end of the drama, a blind prophet named Teiresias can also be regarded as an agent of God's will, telling him that all his actions can lead to terrible things, and he will pay it It will be done. After all, Kryon gave up his view, changed, but in this case the quality is not bad, but it is too late. When he came to release her, he found the body of Antigone. His son committed suicide and his wife left him, there is no one to love
