Theban King Creon is a dictatorial ruler. He comes up with his own laws without considering the welfare and wishes of his people and even of his family. As an example, he issues a harsh decree of non-burial to the disloyal Theban dead. He brooks no opposition. For example, he insults Teiresias when the blind prophet tells him what he doesn't want to hear. He considers obedience the supreme good, and disobedience the ultimate evil. In the way of an example, he decides to punish Antigone for burying her brother, Polyneices. The King sentences her to death by being walled up in a remote cave even though Antigone is not only his niece but also the beloved fiancee of his only surviving son, Haemon.
