I would be lying to you if I said that during this time of my life I didn't fight back. I was constantly fighting back with all of the mistakes he had made and how they way things were now was all his fault. I tried hard to make sure that he felt guilty about what he had done and how it made me feel and I blamed him for our break up. I remember one night when we were fighting he told me I was a stupid bitch, I fired back with whatever name came to mind at that moment.
His fickle favor toward his servants, and not to mention his family, proves his inconsistency and instability. Although appointed by the gods, his reign has exposed the abused and misused privilege of representing the gods in his earthly position. King Creon’s irrational edict stated that any man who dares to bury Polyneices would suffer death by stoning. Is it a mere human’s prerogative to determine another man’s eternal fate? Because Antigone had nothing left to live for, while knowing the sentence of stoning, Antigone defied King Creon’s edict in order to fulfill her duty.

Naturally everyone wouldn’t even think about escaping due to the precautions taken if they were found. Equality 7-2521 doesn’t care for this all he cares for and that drives him is to be with the council of scholars.

Creon’s major flaw of stubbornness leads to pointless actions, which causes a series of suicides, and finally a tragic downfall. The tragic hero’s regrettable path and destination of sorrow without a doubt prove Antigone to be a Shakespearean Tragedy. But the fact that Creon displayed inability by refusing to face his mistakes and in return received true inability that forever disables him from escaping his guilt and ever becoming the king he once aspired to

I don’t consider your / Pronouncements so important that they can / Just…overrule the unwritten laws of heaven. / You are a man, remember” (Sophocles 12).

Creon does not like her explanation, and explains that “I don’t care if she is my sister’s daughter.
Don't leave me!" (604) This did nothing in stopping Brother, he became angry that all his hard work and plans had been for nothing because in the end they all failed. Eventually he went back for Doodle who had never come, he yelled "Doodle! Doodle!" shaking him, but it did no use.
He believes that no man should ever sacrifice his integrity for love. This shows arrogance and stereotypical characteristics of Helmer. It is clear that Nora’s decision and loan money from Krogstad and forge her father’s signature was purely to save Helmer’s life and that she didn’t use the money to her personal pleasure at all. Still, Helmer thinks he had nothing to do with Nora’s deed and refuses to make a similar sacrifice for Nora, implying that male’s status should never be
