Theban King Creon is a dictatorial, hypocritical and stubborn father. He tells his son Haemon what to do, and brooks no contrary opinion, discussion or opposition. He follows a double standard, because he tells his son that women are replaceable. He believes that a man is meant to be obeyed and a woman to obey. Yet he clearly doesn't feel that way about his own wife, Theban Queen Eurydice. And he refuses to change his mind or listen to reason until it's too late.
