CREON Me? Nothing. With that I have everything (555-556)
At this time he is still bleak to the people around him but people once these bad things actually happen his point of view changes drastically. “Aaiiii . . . I’ve learned it in my pain. Some god clutching a great weight struck my head, then hurled me onto paths in wilderness, throwing down and casting underfoot what brought me joy. So sad . . . so sad . . . the wretched agony of human life.”(1416-1422) this is what he said after he found out that his son and antigone killed herself. This evidence supports my claim because this shows that his wrong judgement inevitably leads to his own downfall. The character interactions between Antigone and creon advance the plot and develop the theme by adding depth and a conflict that is unresolvable because of the strong willed people who hold these beliefs. We see evidence from the text when Creon and Antigone get in a fight over her burying the body.
Creon-these views of yours so different from the rest don’t they bring you any sense of shame? ANTIGONE No—there’s nothing shameful in honouring my mother’s children.
CREON You had a brother killed fighting for the other
