Creon's Role in Antigone

Sophocles plays an important role in the play of Antigone. Antagonists also played an important role as contradictory points of these two roles views are linked to complete the disaster emphasizing Cleon as a tragic person. In play, Kryon attempted to make decisions for a common interest, but his decision led to a tragedy. Cryon emphasized that this is a tragic figure, he created his first decision to consider happiness and happiness of Thebes, but as a result Antigone against the decision of Cleon, angry Hide his rational way of thinking.

King Kryon of Thebes plays a similar role as Antigone. Kryon claimed that Antigone's brother, Polynecies, does not receive a glorious funeral. Like Antigone, Kryon pleased God and took action to protect the glory of Thebes. Therefore, Kryon protects his image under a legal image. Regardless of whether the law is an artifact, Kryon still believes that he has the power to dominate the post-mortem polyp's fate. No matter what Kryon decided when Polynesians were alive, it was irrelevant. Polynesi is now dead and his judgment is naturally entrusted to God. However, Cleon and Antigone claim that he knows what God wants, "as you said when he said Antigone," you still ignore the law. " Carol 1, 36, line 87) Kryon considers his words to be a god of words, even though God has not said this theme until now. Creon receives Oracle from the fortuneteller Tiresias and he says saying that his action is actually hostile to God!

The role of Kroon in theater "Antigone" is completely inconsistent with his role in "Oedipus the King". Then, "Oedipus king" Klien is careful not to enter his divine field, knowing his limits, but with "antigone" he is very arrogant in his emotions and actions. Sophocre tried to prove that he can change this as soon as the man's character was placed in a hot place. Kryon shows that he does not have what he needs to be a good ruler. So, "King Oedipus," Kryon plays a very humble role, but made the same mistake in Oedipus' Antigone. Kryon emphasized the quality of loyalty during the rule of the king. He begged very much for the elders of Tevez and asked him to obey. In "King Oedipus", Kryon is a great example of humility, but he fails with "Antigone" and is a good person. Sophocles said that Kryon made the same dramatic mistake as falling Oedipus.
