Everyday people take advantage of their power that ends up affecting others around them negatively. Power has a negative effect on other people because the person who holds the power becomes arrogant and become power hungry.
In Antigone, King Creon feels no one should be antagonistic towards him since he is the ultimate power and he is on a higher platform than everyone else. Creon shows that power creates arrogance's by him saying “This girl is guilty of a double insolence, Breaking the laws given and boasting of it. Who is the man here, she or I, if this crime goes unpunished?”(Lines 92-95). This displays power makes a person feel superior and that he has to show people that he holds the power by punishing them for standing against him.
