That she wants to be known and punished for breaking a law that she heartily dislikes are the reasons why it is important for Antigone to confess her action to Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone tells her sister Ismene that she will break their uncle Creon's law of non-burial, call as much attention to herself as possible in burying their brother Polyneices and hope for the death penalty. The key is in getting caught, because she wants Creon to know how repelled she is by a law that contradicts divine will and Theban traditions. She gets what she wants.
What is Creon's attitude towards Antigone in 'Antigone'?
It is a hateful attitude that Creon has towards Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon characterizes Princess Antigone as having a lifelong track record for foolishness. He also describes her as exactly like her father, disgraced King Oedipus, in her rashness and stubbornness. He even goes so far as to call her too evil to be the wife of his son, Prince Haemon.

That he illegally holds power and is an arbitrary rulerare reasons why Antigone calls Creon a tyrant in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the term tyrant describes an illegal power holder or any harsh ruler. Both descriptions fit Theban King Creon. Creon holds power because he conspires with his nephew Eteocles to deny his other nephew Polyneices' legitimate royal claim. He rules harshly by denying to his perceived enemies their god-given rights as Thebans to below ground burials.
Why is the play not called king Creon?
Whether you're referring to Antigone or Oedipus Rex, Creon, while a major character, is not the central figure in either story, so it would be misleading to call it "King Creon." Sort of like calling "The Outlaw Josey Wales" "Senator James Lane" instead.

What is a political cartoon of 'Antigone'?
That a niece breaks her uncle's law, gets sentenced to death, hangs herself, and is vindicated by the reversal of her uncle's law and by his overthrow is the summary of "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone buries her brother Polyneices. In so doing, she chooses to comply with divine will that all Thebans receive below ground burials. But at the same time, she contradicts the non-burial edict that her uncle King Creon issues regarding the exposure of the bodies of the disloyal Theban dead. She gets caught and is sentenced to death by live burial and starvation. But she hangs herself rather than draw out the death agony. Prince Haemon, Antigone's first cousin and husband-to-be, is distraught when he finds Antigone dead and kills himself with his own sword. Queen Eurydice, Haemon's mother and Creon's wife, kills herself with a sharp knife. Creon loses everything and everyone that gives his life meaning even though he backs down, has Polyneices buried and plans to release Antigone.
What is the story relation that shows what the stories about Antigone and Lycurgus have in common?
That they both are known for their devotion to justice, their integrity and their respect for the gods is the story relation that shows what the stories about Antigone and Lycurgus have in common.Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone gives up her life to support divine justice and will over royal caprices and edicts. The gods promise below-ground burials to all Thebans whereas Antigone's uncle, King Creon, decides to honor those rights only in the case of Theban loyalists. Antigone rebels in burying her brother Polyneices, whom Creon labels a Theban enemy of the Theban people. Her integrity and respect for divine justice and will trickle down from the 12th century B.C.E. and is embodied in the ninth century B.C.E. by Lycurgus (800 B.C.E.? - 730 B.C.E.?), ancient Sparta's lawgiver who does not fear to call to the carpet royals who flout divine justice and will.
What does the first ode mean in 'Oedipus Rex'?
A call for divine favor is what the first ode means in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus offers the first ode after Theban King Oedipus' interactions with the priest of Zeus and his brother-in-law and royal colleague, Creon. The priest says that a pestilence afflicts Thebes, and Creon has the solution suggested by the Delphic oracle. The chorus members welcome intervention by any god other than Ares the war god.
