Why does Antigone dwell with Creon in his household in 'Antigone'?

That she is a royal orphan as well as Creon's future daughter-in-law and ward are reasons why Antigone dwells with Creon in his household in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is the orphaned daughter of disgraced Theban monarchs Oedipus and Jocasta. Creon is Jocasta's brother and therefore becomes Antigone's guardian. Prince Haemon, Creon's son, is Antigone's first cousin and husband-to-be.

Why does Ismene beg her sister to obey Creon in 'Antigone'?

That this is not the way for women to behave and that the consequences are fatal are the reasons why Ismene begs her sister to obey Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Ismene believes that men dominate and lead whereas women follow and obey. She also believes that burying Polyneices and defying her uncle King Creon are impossible tasks that therefore must not be attempted. Additionally, she cautions that the punishment of civil disobedience is death and that Creon will execute her humiliatingly and painfully.


Who curses Creon in 'Antigone'?

Antigone and Eurydice curse Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon issues a non-burial law, exposes his nephew Polyneices' body to ravaging weather and scrounging wildlife, breaks his son Prince Haemon's engagement to Princess Antigone, whom he arrests and sentences to death. For all of the preceding reasons, Antigone curses Creon with the same amount of evil. This curse is augmented by that of Queen Eurydice, Creon's wife and Antigone's intended mother-in-law. Eurydice blames Creon for the earlier deaths of their other children and for the recent suicides of Antigone and Haemon.


Who is more powerful between Antigone and Creon in 'Antigone'?

It is Antigone who is more powerful than Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone becomes a rebel in her own royal household. She gets away with defying her uncle King Creon, who is the city's most powerful political figure, and his laws in that all Thebes is on her side. It is only the chorus who will not support her because they are so attuned to being on the side of the city's reigning power figure and because they are so lacking in understanding of her personal pain.


How is Antigone related to Creon in 'Antigone'?
