Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon believes that a wise king accepts input from others and evaluates the impact of what he does.

Creon is a dynamic character, he changes greatly throughout the play and by the end he is able to accept that his own mortality is enevitable and that family comes before fortune.

He believes that loyalty to the state is paramount and that public order must be prioritized over individual desires. By prohibiting the burial of Polynices, Creon aims to deter dissent and establish a clear consequence for treason, reinforcing his stance on law and governance. Ultimately, his edict reflects his rigid belief in the supremacy of state law over familial loyalty.
