Best Answer

Antigone and Theban King Creon have defensive and offensive personalities. They're used to protecting their views and initiating attacks on those who think differently. They're direct. They don't mince words. They go straight to whatever point that they're making or defending. They're disputatious. They don't like compromise. They believe that their particular stance is correct for them, and therefore for everyone else. They're stubborn. They don't want to budge one bit from their cherished views. They're willing to go further than most in proving a point.
