Where in 'Antigone' do Antigone and Creon and Teiresias talk about profit and loss in terms of monetary value?

Antigone, Teiresias the blind prophet, and Theban King Creon don't talk all together about profit and loss in monetary terms. They aren't all on the stage at the same time in 'Antigone'. In fact, playwright Sophocles [496 B.C.E.* - 406 B.C.E.] doesn't give Antigone and Teiresias any opportunity in which to interact. Creon is the only character of the three who gets to interact with everyone else.

What does the chorus think that Creon should do in 'Antigone'?

Bury Polyneices and release Antigone is what the chorus thinks that Creon should do in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus cannot interact directly with any of the onstage characters.

How do the characters in scene 4 contribute to the plot of 'Antigone'?

It is by setting in motion and bringing about Creon's reversal that the characters in scene 4 contribute to the plot of "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet and the Chorus leader are the characters who interact with Theban King Creon in the fourth scene. Teiresias makes Creon's reversal possible by warning him that the mourning that goes around Thebes will come back around to Creon's own household. The chorus leader then puts the reversal in effect by successfully counseling Creon to annul the non-burial edict, bury Polyneices and free Princess Antigone.
