What are some of Creon's characteristics?

Answer 1

Theban King Creon is domineering. He thinks that his opinion alone counts in the running of his city and his household. He tolerates no opposing or second view points. He is narrow-minded. His tunnel vision takes in whatever is needed to ensure the consolidation of his rule and the success of his direct family line. He is results-oriented. He thinks that a successful reign and a thriving society can be measured by the strictness of the royal decrees and the sureness of the cruel punishment. He is selfish. He doesn't care how much others suffer under his rule. At the same time, the King is easy to read. It's very obvious what his subordinates need to do to survive. It's a simple matter of shelving one's brain, conscience and heart while just doing what the King spells out clearly to be done or not done.
