To be out of his presence is what Creon really wants with Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Creon and Princess Antigone are not on friendly terms of mutual respect. In fact, Creon dismisses his niece as having a lifelong track record for foolishness. He never gives her a chance. He is all too happy to get her away from his son, Prince Haemon, and out of his presence.
