To what does Creon compare Antigone in 'Antigone'?
It is to horses, iron and slaves that Creon compares Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Creon considers his niece Princess Antigone a stubborn, willful girl who needs to be disciplined. He declares that such stubborn pride leads to downfall, just as hard-baked iron snaps from its stiffness. He nevertheless observes that stubborn pride can be curbed in horses and in slaves.
Is Creon the only stubborn character in the play?
No, Antigone is as well because she defyed her uncle twice to stand up for what she thought was right.
How much do you think Creon is to blame for the suicides of Antigone and Haemon and Eurydice?
Creon is to blame for everyone's suicides. Creon places Antigone and Haemon in a situation where they only way they saw to get out of was to commit suicide. When Eurydice found out that Haemon had committed suicide due to Creon she went to her room, where she cursed Creon before taking her own life. If Creon had not be so stubborn and not placed Antigone in the cave no one would have died. But it is a greek tragedy, so the ending must of course be tragic. :]
What does Haemon try to do to Creon in 'Antigone'?
Change his mind in the first interaction and kill him in the second are what Haemon tries to do to Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon has two interactions with his father, King Creon. In the first, he makes an effort to get Creon to change his stubborn mind about non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead and about the death sentence for Princess Antigone, Haemon's betrothed and Creon's niece. In the second, Haemon tries to run his sword through Creon, whom he blames for Antigone's suicide.

What insight does Creon give into the man Oedipus in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Hot-tempered, stubborn, tormented andunsportmanlike are the insights that Creon gives on the man Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus argues with his royal colleague, Creon. Creon behaves with respect, but voices personal criticisms of his brother-in-law. He observes that Oedipus is quick to get angry, slow to concede a point and unhappy to lose.
What does Creon decide after Teiresias exits in 'Antigone'?
That he will bury Polyneices and release Antigone is what Creon decides after Tiresias exits in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet warns that the pain and suffering of all Thebes will be visited upon Theban King Creon's own family if he does not honor Polyneices' god-given right as a Theban to a below-ground burial and if he does not rescue Antigone from being buried alive. Creon remains stubborn until after Creon leaves. But Creon backs down once the chorus leader tells him to do what Teiresias says.
What do Antigone and Creon have in common in 'Antigone'?
Ancestry, Haemon, homelands and personality are what Antigone and Creon have in common in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess and King Creon both are direct descendants of Cadmus, Thebes' founder and first king. Both also love Haemon, Creon's son and Antigone's betrothed. The two both originate from Thebes. The niece and uncle share similar personalities in that they each are proud, stubborn and uncompromising.
When does Creon first suspect that he has acted incorrectly?
Theban King Creon questions the correctness of his actions only during his meeting with Teiresias the blind prophet. At first, he doesn't like the answers that Teiresias gives him. So he insults and threatens the prophet. The prophet finally reciprocates by warning Creon of dire days of grief, misery, and unbearable pain ahead. Creon quickly realizes that his household and his job are at stake. At that point, he backs down from his stubborn demands of obedience to his every will or death.
How do you compare and contrast Antigone and Creon in 'Antigone'?
Arrogant and stubborn versus generous and selfish are ways of comparing and contrasting Antigone and Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone and King Creon demonstrate arrogance in their respective interactions with royalty and with the gods. They exhibit stubbornness in their refusal to back down or seek common ground in their interactions with each other. But Antigone is generous in caring about her brother Polyneices, her family, her gods and her people. Creon thinks only of himself.
How did Creon meet his fate in Antigone?
As a result of his stubborn attitude and refusing to listen to Antigone, Haemon, and the citizens of Thebes, Creon blinds himself to the true situation. In the end, what results from this is that his son Haemon commits suicide to die along with his lover, Antigone, and his wife, Eurydice, also commits suicide. Another of his sons, Megareus, had died earlier after Creon sacrificed him to save Thebes (Tiresias the seer had told him that Thebes would guaranteed a victory against the Seven Against Thebes if Megareus was sacrificed). Cursing Creon for his stubbornness and blaming him for the death of their two sons, Eurydice stabs herself with a sword. Thus, because of Creon's own selfishness and short-sightedness, he met his fate: his entire family was killed, and a descendant of an earlier Theban king, named Lycus, kills Creon and takes the crown. In the end, Creon lost everything.
