How to punish Antigone is Creon's internal conflict in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Creon wants his non-burial edict to remain on the books. He knows that Thebans are not in favor of whimsical applications of their god-given rights to below-ground burials and proper funeral rites. So he has to make an example of any and all law-breakers, in such a way as to discourage similar defiance of his will.
