King Creon. Although‚ that is how the play seems instead‚ I see it as one person’s actions leading to series of events that end up making everyone’s day just miserable. The theme of this play is morality‚ which is what you personally think is right from wrong.

choice of service to your country‚ on a national‚ state‚ or local government level‚ is an admirable and important endeavor‚ the choice must be driven by one’s own conscience. To think globally‚ or for the good of the nation and even for the future – cannot be forced. To compel someone to serve their country‚ as with the military draft(conscription)‚ is a non effective notion that will neither guarantee the strength and quality of a nation nor its military.

In Mr. Smith’s class I learned this valuable lesson with the aid of some nefarious peers and the iron grip of my teacher. It all happened on a sweltering September day
