Theban King Creon isn't popular in Thebes. He initially may have been somewhat popular in the first days of his sole rule with the suicide of Theban Queen Jocasta and the exile of Theban King Oedipus. But he quickly makes himself disliked and feared by his subjects, for good reason. In fact, Creon previously says that he doesn't want to have all the power to himself. Previously, he also says that sole rule doesn't appeal because he'd be forced to do things against his will. But Creon at the head of the Theban state is his own worst nightmare. He shares no power and brooks no opposition. He likewise does everything that he wants to do and nothing that he doesn't want to do.
