The Tragedy of Creon - A Term Paper

The Tragedy Of Creon In Antigone Along with its shifting
opinon in the play, the Chorus comments on proper conduct as
viewed by the masses in Ancient Greece. "Zeus hates with a
vengeance all bravado, / the mighty boasts of men." (lines 140
and 141) The notion that men should be reverent to the gods is
the antithesis of what Creon initially embraces. "The power is
yours, I suppose, to enforce it / with the laws, both for the
dead and all of us, / the living." (lines 238 to 240) Creon's
accepting the supposed power to enforce both the living and the
dead reveals him as accepting a false superiority to the gods
and thus angers them. The Chorus, in foreshadowing the story,
relates its current events to those of its past. "...at last
that madman / came to know his god- / the power he mocked, the
power / he taunted in all his frenzy / trying to stamp out / the
woman strong with the god..." (lines 1058 to 1063) This anecdote
is a retelling of a past myth in relation to Creon's present day
struggle. The understanding that Creon's mocking and taunting of
the gods is highly dissaproved of by the Chorus fortells that he
will anger the gods. It is also foretold that the "madman" who
attempts to kill Antigone will come to know his god. The power
of this foreshadowing accentuates the common vision that Creon
is facing a tragic end. Creon's tragedy is underscored by the
Chorus' final words of the play, "The mighty words of the proud
are paid in full / with mighty blows of fate..." (lines 1468 and
1469) This integration of the concepts of pride and dismal fate
sums up Creon's tragic destiny. With the knowledge that his
pride and actions caused the deaths of those he loves, Creon is
fated to a life alone, made wise too late, thus making him our
tragic hero....
