Creon is the character who fails as the result of weakness in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Creon fails because he tries to be a strong ruler. He confuses strong rule with not being swayed from a set course by what is happening to and being said by others. He cannot see until it is too late that the best rule is based upon the sound advice of people who are experienced and can be trusted.

What are metaphors in 'Antigone'?

One example of a metaphor is the statement by the chorus, 'When he beheld them coming on in a great stream, in the haughty pride of clanging gold'. Another example is the statement by Antigone, '...how like clinging ivy, the growth of stone subdued her; and the rains fail not, as men tell, from her wasting form, nor fails the snow ...'. Still another example is the statement by Teiresias, 'Such arrows for thy heart - for thou provokest me - have I launched at thee, archer-like, in my anger, sure arrows, of which thou shalt not escape the smart'.

What is the style of 'Waiting for Godot'?

'Waiting for Godot' has retroactively been described as a 'Theatre of the Absurd', along with Eugene Ionesco and Jean Genet. Characters in such pieces frequently struggle and fail to find meaning in life. The universe of the play is godless and irrational. Language is repetitive or rhythmical. Action and Setting are often minimalistic. See the related links for more info.

Why is the theme of King Lear appearance vs. Reality?

The theme of appearance versus reality in "King Lear" highlights the deceptive nature of perception and the consequences of misjudgment. Characters often present false facades, as seen in Lear's misguided trust in his elder daughters, Goneril and Regan, while overlooking the genuine loyalty of Cordelia. This theme underscores the tragic outcomes that arise when characters fail to see beyond outward appearances, leading to betrayal, madness, and ultimately, tragedy. It serves as a critique of the superficial judgments that can govern human relationships and power dynamics.
