    Embedded Assessment #2 “That may be‚ but Hades still desires equal rites for both.”(593) I say Antigone contracts Creon the most because she brings out his anger‚ pride‚ and disgust. I say this because other than the Chorus she interacted with the most and brought most of his poor traits out. Antigone brings out his pride because when she buried her brother’s body‚ Creon told the Chorus leader after she did her speech that‚ “But you should know the most obdurate wills are those most prone to break
