Antigone Post

In the play, Creon is very proud and power hungry. He does not act upon moral reasoning, but rather acts upon greed. This is what motivates him when he decreed one brother unfit to bury as well as when he sentenced Antigone to death. These were ways for him to exercise his power, not for him to do what is morally right. I think even he sees that what he has done is wrong, but is to proud to do anything about it. There is a very defined good and evil in this play, a battle between right and wrong.
