Just saying

money.

The ship of state speech is something that Creon just thought about he didn't even know what he was taking about
Which best describes Creon's speech to his subjects at the beginning of Sophocles' Antigone?
I would say arrogant and haughty
What does Creon's speech suggest about his values in 'Antigone'?
That he prioritizes law and order is what Creon's speech suggests about his values in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon talks about a city running smoothly because rulers are respected, laws are obeyed and criminals are punished. He seems to value organizations over people. This tentative impression is backed up by subsequent interactions in which Creon shows himself to be completely lacking in people skills.

He seems to value organizations over people. This tentative impression is backed up by subsequent interactions in which Creon shows himself to be completely lacking in people skills.
Which of these values does Creon praise in his initial speech to the Chorus?
In Sophocles Antigone, Creon praises loyalty to the Theban monarchy. He says that the best value is for Thebans to respect the monarchy no matter who the legitimate ruler is.
What role does money play in 'Antigone'?
The source of criminal activity to Creon's way of thinking is the role that money plays in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, there is no actual role played by money. There is just the role imagined by Theban King Creon. Creon believes that his powerful enemies bribe people who need money to engage in criminal activity against him and his royal rule.
Whom does Creon think buried Polyneices in 'Antigone'?
People who do it for money and are in the pay of his enemies are those whom Creon thinks bury Polyneices in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon says that there is opposition to his recent edict on the non-burial of disloyal Theban dead. His opponents have money with which to corrupt others. In Creon's mind, they therefore are the ones who think up the deed, but they pay people who need money to actually do the deed.
Which details in Creon's speech emphasize his role as a tragic character in 'Antigone'?
That he has experience with disloyalty and that he intends upon change in the midst of stress are details in his speech that emphasize Creon's role as a tragic character in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon's speech can be seen as foreshadowing of troubles yet to come. He begins his speech with references to popular support for rulers during troubled times. He asks his listeners to support drastic change in the aftermath of a violent civil war and during a time of great stress. The speech acts as a flag of tragedy to come since it is not an inspiring pronouncement of present victory and future optimism.
What are some ironic quotes in Creon's speech?
One example of irony in Creon's speech is when he states, "I have no desire to become the king of corpses." This is ironic because, ultimately, Creon's actions lead to the deaths of his own family members. Another example is when he proclaims, "The State is his who rules it." This is ironic because Creon's harsh rule ultimately results in great harm to the state and its people.
What is Creon's preoccupation with bribes and money in 'Antigone'?
That he finds what he looks for and that he symbolizes change is Creon's preoccupation with bribes and money in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon disparages the motives of others. He insists that a few powerful people oppose him and have money to fund their oppositional activities. He also maintains that most people need money and can be bought to do the despicable deeds that the powerful few are too cowardly to do on their own. Additionally, Creon symbolizes the transition from Antigone's society of interactions based on family, gods and traditions to the modern society of achievement in business and governmental work.
