In his speech after finding out about Antigone,, Kreon says,
There is no greater evil than unruliness
It ruins cities and makes households desolate.
It breaks and turns to flight the ranks of allied spears.
But, when the lives of mortals go aright. It is
Obedience to rule that keeps most bodies safe.
Therefore, we must defend the cause of order, and
By no means let a woman get the upper hand.
Better to fall, if we must do so, to a man;
Then nobody could call us conquered by a woman. (672-680)
What does he mean? Explain the point hes making about power, and who has it.
2) Haimon tells his father
For those who think that they alone possess good sense
or that no other has a tongue or spirit such
as theirs, when opened up expose their emptiness.
No, even if a man is clever, theres no shame
in learning many things and not straining too tight. (708-711)
…
And on a ship, if he who holds the power strains
The rigging tight and does not yield, he turns his rowing
Benches over and completes the journey upside down. (715-18)
What message is he trying to give his father, and what image does he use to do it? Why?
