Creon continued to be prideful and concluded that he was superior to all of his subjects. He had a dreadful conversation with Tiresias and maintains the idea that he is doing all proper and anything that attacks his conceptions were to be automatically considered wrong, “Thou art a wise seer, but in love with wrong” (Sophocles 57). Exessive self-confidence in the kingdom of Thebes continues to produce a corrupt, nefarious, and soiled city. Nervous that he cannot handle the position of absolute authority, does not reconsider any his ideas thus not labeling him as inadequate. As stated, “I...Possess the throne and take the supreme power” (Sophocles 10).
