When it comes to pride, when do we know that we have too much? A perfect example of having too much pride
lies in the Greek tragedy, Antigone. In my opinion, it is the perfect example because the main character, Creon, is
dealing with all the things that are happening because of Antigone’s decision to go against his law and many
people are telling him that he is wrong, but he is too confident in his own choice that nothing bad will happen.
Throughout the play, Creon appears too stubborn and so sure of himself, but do we really know that? Do we really
know that he is confident? We don’t know what he is thinking so who are we to say and judge him. There must be
reasons why he was stubborn and so hesitate to let his own niece off the hook. When you do not go into deep
thinking about why Creon doesn’t let Antigone off the hook, you might think that Creon is just thinking he is just
too prideful like mention in the beginning, but it could be because he does not want to be taken advantage off. It
can also be that just because he is king, he can’t give his family special treatment cause that would be wrong of
him to do but at the same time putting him in a bad situation.
This topic, just like any other topics, has it pros and cons of why we believe that both Antigone and Creon
suffered. Both Creon and Antigone suffered a large amount but in my opinion, I think Creon suffers the most for
many reasons. My reason for choosing Creon is because Antigone does suffer a lot but in the end where is she?
She dies and because of that, she is in peace in heaven or where she is. Also she was the first ones to die besides
Polyneices and Etocles. Creon, first of all, yes, it is his fault for not listening when Teiresias, Haimon and Antigone
herself...
