It is then presumed that the people of Thebes like her and are inspired by her, so they will later talk about her. In the final analysis, martyrdom is…

The few women who play an essential part in the story are often defined by their romantic endeavors rather than their power and influence over others. However, in Antigone and Fahrenheit 451 women are the match that starts the fire, crucial for the action of the novels to occur. Clarisse McClellan from Fahrenheit 451 introduces…

accepted his actions as misguided. Creon tries his hardest to go back and make what he did right again. He went back and gave Polyneices a proper burial, then he went to let Antigone out, only to find his son there; hugging the dead girl’s body. Next, Haemon, Creon’s son, who should marry Antigone, kills himself. If Creon would listen to Antigone’s reasoning as to why…

Creon had a flaw of bitterness, Julius had a flow of arrogance and ambition, and Okonkwo had a flaw of being afraid of weakness.

Nonetheless, Creon is at Stage 1, Preconventional, which is seen as he questions Haemon, “Do you want me to show myself weak before the people?” (3.26).
