That the two share the same character flaws even though they express opposite convictions is what the author wants us to understand about the "yes" and "no" between Antigone and Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone believes that family, the gods and Theban traditions rule in life and death. In contrast, her uncle King Creon insists that the king, the law and the state rule in life and can carry over their effects into death. Despite their contrary convictions, the two unite in their characters flawed by pride, stubbornness and tunnel vision.
The conflict between Creon and Teiresias in "Antigone" begins with Creon's inability to believe Teiresias' prophecies. Creon believes that he is a traitor.

But it is not until Ismene, Antigone's sister and Creon's niece, shows up that Antigone also is identified as Creon's intended daughter-in-law engaged to his only surviving son and heir apparent, Prince Haemon.
In Sophocles' "Antigone," Creon wants to question Antigone. He seeks to understand her motives for defying his edict by burying her brother Polynices, which he views as an act of treason. Creon aims to assert his authority and maintain order in Thebes by holding her accountable for her actions.
