Do you think Creon will listen to the prophets warning about killing antigone or will he ignore it and suffer the concequences? Is Creon's pride getting in the way of him doing the right thing? For himself? For the city?
After the death of Haemon and Eurydice, Creon finally admits that he has committed wrongdoing and he begs forgiveness from the Gods. What does this tell you about Creon's personality? Be specific.
Tiresias, a blind prophet, warned Creon that the Gods will punish him if he proceeds with killing Antigone. Will Creon continue to keep her locked in the vault, and go against the Gods? Or, will he decide to set Antigone free? What does this say about Creon?
What do you think Creon's thoughts are when he sends Antigone into the vault? Is he really so ignorant to believe the Gods want him to do it? Or is he thinking over the decision to let Antigone go. Explain.
Why do you think Creon didn't heed Tiresias' warning, "dead for dead, corpse for corpse, flesh for flesh"? Do you think Creon believes he is so above the Gods that he does not need to heed the warning?
Do you think Creon knows that he is taking advantage of his power and thinking he is a god? Do you believe that gods will punish him for his wrong doing?
Why do you think Ismene decided to stand up for Antigone when talking to Creon but not when talking to Antigone? Do you think this was noble or selfish?
Do you think karma hit Creon in the near future because of his actions? Or will he live the rest of his life miserably because he admitted he was wrong? Why?
In the end, Creon has a realization (ephiphany) that he indirectly killed the people he cared about most. Why have the Gods chosen to punish Creon by making him live with guilt and regret, even though he wishes his life would end? Is the God’s punishment for Creon what he deserves or does he deserve to die? Lastly, why does Creon admit that his decisions were selfish and wrong after Antigone, Haemon and Eurydice have killed themselves?
