The similarities between Creon and Antigone
"Ah Creon! Is there no man left in the world-" Teirsesias

     Greek theatre played a large role in Greece.  The citizens were supposed to learn
from the mistakes made in tragedies.  The citizens should have learned what not to be like
as a citizen or person.  In a Greek trilogy written by Sophocles there are two main
characters, Antigone and Creon.  They are both strong willed and stubborn people.  Both
being unwilling to change, they both seal each others fate.  Creon is passionate.  .
Antigone is full of rage.  They are both so similar they can not see eye to eye. Although
they may seem quite different,  Creon and Antigone share many similarities throughout
the story.
     They are both very independent people.  Antigone is  extremely independent..  She
doesn't mind doing anything on her own.  For example,  in the beginning of the story
when Antigone is talking with Ismene, she asks for her  help .  When Ismene refuses she
is furious with  her.   Then  Ismene decides to act independently.  Creon is also very
independent.  He refuses to accept anyone's opinions except his own.  When his son
Haimon comes to talk with him he refuses to listen , claiming that Haimon is "girlstruck!"

to this either.  He  claims that Teirsesais has been corrupted by money, like many
prophets at that time.  He finally listens to the Charagous when reminded  that Teiresias
has never been wrong.  Antigone has no problem working by her self either.  She
demonstrates  this when she slipped  by all the guards that were protecting the dead body
of Polyneices.
     Creon and Antigone are both independent, and they are both very loyal.  They are
loyal to their views.  Creon is especially loyal to his laws.  Antigone is  loyal to her
beliefs.  Creon will not change his laws.  An example of this occurs when he and
Antigone argue.  He calls her "A traitor" For giving a burial for her dead brother
Polyneices.  He is so loyal to his own laws that he fails to see that he is disobeying the
law of the gods.  Antigone puts the laws of the gods ahead of the laws of the states.  She
goes ahead and buries her brother.  Which  was strictly prohibited by Creon.  This shows
her short-sightedness is because she only does what she thinks the gods want.  Instead of
abiding by the law that Creon decreed.  Creon is also short-si...
