What kind of person is Creon in 'Oedipus Rex' and 'Antigone'?
A compassionate bureaucrat and a heartless dictator is the kind of person that Creon respectively is in "Oedipus Rex" and "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Creon follows proper procedure but leaves room for compassion and respect when he team rules with Theban King Oedipus, his brother-in-law and royal colleague. For example, he keeps a respectful stance when he defends himself against Oedipus' rabid, unfounded charges of treasonous conspiracy. He lets Oedipus meet with his children even though the latter needs to be arrested and confined pending divine judgment for criminal acts and immoral behavior.
But Creon makes an about face once he becomes sole ruler of Thebes. He heartlessly refuses to honor for the disloyal Theban dead their god-given rights as Thebans to below ground burials. He rejects all pleas to give the disloyal Theban dead below ground protection from ravaging weather and scrounging wildlife. He rules alone, arbitrarily, cruelly and most dictatorially.
In Islam:
God is the powerful authority of universe as MUSLIM believe.
In Judaism:
- God is One. The concept of a dualism (as in Zoroastrianism), an independent Satan, multiple gods (polytheism; paganism) or a trinity of three in one, are all unimaginable in Judaism. Also, any belief that an intermediary between humanity and God should be used, whether as necessary or even optional, is considered heretical.
- God is non-physical, indivisible and incomparable. Jewish tradition teaches that God is beyond human comprehension; and that it is only God's revealed deeds, as He interacts with mankind and the world, that we can begin to grasp. His names indicate His attributes and the ways in which He relates to us.
- God is omniscient (He is aware of everything), and infinitely wise.
- God created the universe and all existence, including time and space, in a deliberate, purposeful act of benevolent Creation.
- God is the mover of everything. No molecule can move without the energy and direction with which God imbues it.
- God is eternal; and His ways are also eternal. He is not capricious, forgetful or fickle.
- God is just. He rewards good and punishes evil - whether in this world or in the afterlife.
- God is ethical and moral; and He expects us to imitate His ways.
- The God of Israel is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He is the guide of history, who delivered the Israelites from Egyptian slavery.
- God is the source of law, who gave the Torah to the Israelites at Mount Sinai.
- God is immanent and personal, meaning that he relates to humanity and hears our prayers. This is the basis of the Psalms and our siddur (prayerbook).
