Creon says that a good son is loyal, is respectful, and is obedient in "Antigone."
That he brings good news is what the draping of berries and bay upon Creon indicates when Creon returns from Delphi in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Creon goes to Delphi to consult with the Pythia. He has good news to share because the Delphic oracle tells him how to end the pestilence in Thebes. The people see that the news is favorable because of what Creon wears in his hair.
That bad behavior will be punished and that good behavior will be rewarded is what Creon promises to the people in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon announces that he does not want a repeat performance of the bloody first civil war over the Theban royal succession. He feels that punishments for bad behavior and rewards for good will motivate Thebans to behave in ways most conducive to the security of society and the stability of Creon's government. Bad behavior is what is in opposition to him and his rule whereas good behavior is whatever obeys and supports Creon.
Creon is Jocasta's brother.
No, Creon cannot be called a good disciplinarian in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, good describes a quality of attractiveness, effectiveness or wholesomeness. Not one of those qualities is evident in Theban King Creon's disciplinarianism. In fact, he operates in such an oppressive, repressive, suppressive way that his disciplinary approach does not make it through even one day in the life of Thebes.

Creon (King of Thebes) and the gods. Creon forbid the burial of Polynices- yet the gods wanted everyone to be buried; both the good and the bad.
Creon's role is the king.
Creon is Jocasta's brother.
Creon feels that the authority of the state is supreme over that of natural law and that it shouldn't be tested or questioned by any. However when the authority of the state is questioned Creon feels that the law as supported by the authority of the state should punish said questioner and set a precedent for others who may secretly question the state. Essentially Creon feels that the state should not and perhaps may not even have the ability to show any form of weakness or necessarily mercy and remain or be a functioning and effective governing force.
