Creon’s Disgraceful Deed
In the play, Antigone by Sophocles, the protagonist Creon discovers that Antigone is going against his laws to show that the laws of God over rules his. Told in 2nd person point of view, the author supports his theme by describing the setting of laws establishing the central conflict of Creon not following the laws of God. This affects the works as a whole because Sophocles’ purpose is to show the division in order to show the readers laws of God versus laws of Man. He creates a mood of misfortune for an audience of adolescents. The author’s treatment of tragedy relates to the overall meaning of the play it shows that a man should not deny God and make his own laws to be better.

This punishment makes Creon learn to finally shed his pride, because he lost and feels worthless. He has nothing left now, “ In that prayer/ I included everything I must desire,” ( Scene 5: 1473- 1474). Creon was very wrong with what he did and his evilness has left him with nothing. “ Make concessions to the dead don't ever stab/ a man who's just been killed. What's the glory/ in killing a dead person one more time?” ( Scene 5: 1146-1148). No one any longer was sorrow for him. There is nothing left for or of him. In the play Antigone, Creon had lots of selfish and unusual ways that brought him to the end of his ruling. He thought he was doing something so good for the city but was really destroying it just by his way of order. He will never overrule the Gods and that's why his life resulte ending in
