Describe The Relationship Between Antigone And Creon

Creon begins by emphasizing “Anarchy” like he is talking to a person. (Antigone l. 751) Creon sounds as if he is referring to Antigone when he says “she.” (Antigone l. 753) Creon believes Antigone’s actions cause anarchy. He is enraged by Antigone’s actions because he believes they show him to be weak. Creon thinks anarchy destroys cities and houses. Creon believes in maintaining order, and Antigone disobeyed his law. Creon sees anarchy as the result when disobedience is left unpunished. Creon’s anger is shown by him deciding to punish his son’s soon to be wife. He believes by letting her actions go unpunished, the men who live by the law are attacked. Creon is angered by this because he believes a woman should never have power over a man.
