What value does Creon praise in his initial speech to the chorus in 'Antigone'?
Loyalty to the Theban monarchy is the value that Creon praises in his first speech to the chorus in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon trumpets Thebans who respect the monarchy no matter who is the legitimate ruler. He criticizes Thebans such as his nephew Polyneices, who take their challenge to royal authority to the point of war. But he neglects to mention that he and the nephew Eteocles that he so praises are actually illegal power-holders.In fact, a power-sharing arrangement is in effect whereby the twin brothers are to alternate years of rule. At the end of his first year and with his Uncle Creon's support, Eteocles refuses to honor the agreement and hand the crown over to Polyneices. So it is more of a case of Polyneices standing up for his rights against an illegal seize of power than disrespecting Thebes.

The chorus comments on the actions of the main characters in the play 'Antigone'. Most of their comments deal with the actions of Theban King Creon. But the chorus also comments on the single-focused passionate fury of Antigone.

That kings do what they must is the way in which the chorus leader reacts to Creon's decree in Oedipus Rex by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus leader is one of Thebes' most accomplished, respected and senior citizens. He therefore starts from a position of support for Theban King Creon. So he validates what Creon says and does ... in the beginning.

To support his edict is what Creon commands the chorus leader in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon announces his edict of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead.

The chorus observes that Creon must rule as he must and makes no comment on the law violating divine will and Theban traditions. But just before the end of the play, the chorus says that Creon must violate his own law by burying Polyneices and setting Antigone free.

What does the chorus think that Creon should do in 'Antigone'?
Bury Polyneices and release Antigone is what the chorus thinks that Creon should do in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus cannot interact directly with any of the onstage characters. But its leader can do so. The chorus leader in fact asks Theban King Creon to bury the exposed body of Polyneices and to free Princess Antigone from her walled up cave.

Does the chorus support Antigone or Creon in 'Antigone'?
It is Creon that the chorus supports in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus draws its members from the most accomplished, respected and senior of Theban citizens. It therefore has a tendency to support the reigning king. The chorus indeed refrains from criticizing Theban King Creon despite his violation of divine will and Theban traditions. At the same time, it tends to be highly critical of Princess Antigone's personality.
