Suddenly, he spun on his heel and said, "What shall I do with you?"At that moment, I began to feel that I was getting a little more control of the situation. I felt as though I'd grown a little in height. He studied me. I could hear him thinking, Here are two people standing across from each other who are from one country, from one city. One hunts Jews and the other protects them. He quieted down a bit; his face became more human.

1. Creon says of Antigone:“…of all the people in this city, only she
Has had contempt for my laws and broken it.”
Is this true? Why or why not?

Answers

That is true, because she was the only one to understand the importance of divine laws as opposed to Creon's civil laws. He forbade her to give her brother a proper burial because he was a traitor, but she understood that it needed to be done so that he could be allowed to go to heaven, perhaps. The other people were afraid of Creon, and didn't want to interfere with his laws.
