"Can't fight against what's destined.I must personally undo what I have done. I shouldn't have tried being unorthodox. I'll stick by the established laws in the future."
The quote is a reply by Antigone to King Creon, in Sophocles' play "Antigone".
Creon's character in Sophocles play has various personalities and traits that made him a very dynamic character in the said play. Three of these personality traits are stubbornness, power and strength.
Antigone, Haemon, Ismene and Teiresias are heroic in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.). Specifically, heroic describes an individual who does great deeds, hold great powers or is the main character. Theban Princess Antigone is heroic as the main character and the doer of the great deed of burying her brother and honoring the gods. But Haemon, Ismene and Teiresias may be said to join her in specific heroic acts of selflessness.
In Sophocles' play "Antigone," the character Creon expresses the idea that there is no threat in challenging a bad decree. He believes that the laws of the state must be upheld, but this sentiment is ultimately contested by Antigone, who argues for a higher moral law. The tension between Creon's authority and Antigone's moral conviction drives the central conflict of the play.
