Antigone

Why does Creon ask, "Is it your senile opinion that the gods love to honor bad men?" Do you think he would go against the gods' will deliberately? Explain.

The line shows the conflict between humans and God. Creon refused to take the advice of others and did not do it deliberately.

Explanation:

Creon is very stubborn and did not listen to anyone. He was very proud and believed that he was always correct. Creon is the uncle of Antigone. Antigone wanted to bury her brother but Creon says he was a traitor and refuses his burial. She strongly believes that laws made by kings are imperfect and the laws made by God is perfect. Later when Antigone kills herself, he understands that he has done something against God's wish. He understand that he should not discard religion as it provides stability to humans.
