That they need the money and that they are intimidated by wealthy power holders are the reasons why Creon accuses people of taking bribes in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Creon admits that he is not liked by everyone in Thebes. He characterizes his opponents as powerful and wealthy but cowardly. He also describes them as determined enough to seek out people who need money and will do despicable deeds for pay.

Why does Creon say that his hands will be clean after taking Antigone to the vault in 'Antigone'?

That she will kill herself before she dies as a result of his punishment is the reason why Creon says that his hands will be clean after taking Antigone to the vault in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone breaks one of her uncle King Creon's laws for which the punishment is dying at the hands of stone-throwing Thebans. Creon concludes that Antigone has the wits and communication skills to turn Thebans against him and his unpopular edict. He therefore decides to have Antigone walled up in a remote cave with enough food to survive but in such a scary place that she will die at her own hands before dying from his ultimate sentence of death by starvation.

What is the meaning of the saying 'people in glass house should not throw stones'?

This should be an easy one to remember - imagine what would happen if you lived in a house made of glass and you threw a rock? CRASH!This saying means that you should not start accusing other people of things that you do yourself, or your own situation will crash right along with the other person's. For example, a politician who has been taking bribes should not accuse someone else of taking bribes, because when the police start looking around, they are going to see all those other bribes and the politician will be torn down along with the other person.
