“Whatever my hands have touched has come to nothing. Fate has brought all my pride to a thought of dust,” are the last words in the play said by Creon. This statement shows that a powerful king of Thebes once had fallen apart. In the play “Antigone,” written by Dudley Fitts and Robert Fitzgerald as Antigone as the protagonist and Creon as the antagonist, it is clear that Creon was cast away in distress, misery, and sorrow.

“You’ll never marry her while she’s alive,” blusters Creon, to which Haemon retorts: “Then she’ll die and in her death kill someone else” (859). Haemon means he will commit suicide, but Creon interprets this as Haemon’s threat to kill him. While Haemon’s efforts to establish ethos with his father his unquestioning love and his loyalty are a promising first step towards making Creon listen to him, this approach is ineffective as Creon is unable to see beyond his own selfish paranoia in the matter of Antigone, and Haemon is unable to reach his father through logical arguments. In the end, even the Chorus Leader doubts that any good will come of Creon’s “iron will:” “He’s angry [Haemon] in a young man at his age/ the mind turns bitter when he’s feeling hurt” (878-79). The second Ode is the turning point in the play, where the Chorus sings of how loyalty (to the law) and love (to one’s lover and family) are

Antigone’s actions are motivated by her allegiance to her family, moral conscience, and religion amid Creon’s political injustice and tyranny. Antigone’s actions motivate her to demand Ismene to prove whether she is “a true sister or a traitor to your family” (26-27). Antigone maintains loyalty to her brother despite his actions which threatened Thebes. Her inability to bear the thought of her brother’s corpse being picked apart by animals and not being honored with proper funeral rites forces her to act. Antigone’s fierce allegiance to her family is laid bare as she is willing to sacrifice her life to honor her brother and defy the law in an act that she believes is morally just.

In Antigone, the chorus is used to express the concerns of the Thebans who are too frightened by Creon’s power to confront him themselves. In the beginning, the chorus defends Creon’s laws, for they state that “[the] laws of the land, and the justice of the gods… / [will cause him] and his city [to] rise high” (Antigone 410-412). Although, when they learn as to how Creon enforces his laws, their views change, and they state that “even I [now] would rebel against the king” (Antigone 895-896). Creon’s abuse of power has become too barbaric to ignore, causing even his supporters to desire rebellion.

Sophocles’ Antigone, is a classic Athenian Greek play that discusses questions about the importance of following the law when one does not agree with it, and whether divine laws or man-made laws have more importance in society. While these themes are worth exploring, another interesting aspect of the play is the cruel treatment and punishment of the title character, Antigone, by her uncle and future father-in-law Creon, the king of Thebes. Creon’s harsh punishment, a parallel to the treatment of women in Greek society, can be seen in many of the dialogues of the play. Antigone is determined to provide proper burial for dead brother, Polynices, against the orders of the king, and goes to her sister Ismene for help. However, Ismene is distraught at the idea of defying the king (104).

“The chorus plays a massive role in the overall development in all Greek tragedies, without them it would be much more difficult to understand.” (UK Essays arch 23, 2015). From this quote, we can see that the Chorus does play a huge role in the creation of background knowledge and introduction to the many new scenes. In Antigone by Sophocles, the audience can see this idea put to use.

Sophocles’ Electra is a well-known Greek tragedy, set place at Mycenae after the Trojan wars. In the tragedy Electra plays one of the most important roles among the Chorus.
