Read the excerpt from the text of Antigone. Then, in one well-developed paragraph, make inferences about what kind of man Creon

is. Explain how his words reveal his character. Use evidence from the excerpt to support your answer.
Then, in a second well-developed paragraph, state the theme of the play and explain how Creon—and his words in this excerpt—help develop the theme of the play. Use evidence from the excerpt to support your answer.

Tereisias: Think: all men make mistakes,
But a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong,
And repairs the evil. The only crime is pride.

Give in to the dead man, then: do not fight with a corpse—
What glory is it to kill a man who is dead?
Think, I beg you:
It is for your own good that I speak as I do.
You should be able to yield for your own good.

Creon: It seems that prophets have made me their
especial province.
All my life long
I have been a kind of butt for the dull arrows
Of doddering fortune tellers!
No, Teiresias:
If your birds—if the great eagles of God himself
Should carry him stinking bit by bit to heaven,
I would not yield. I am not afraid of pollution:
No man can defile the gods.
Do what you will,
Go into business, make money, speculate
In India gold or that synthetic gold from Sardis,
Get rich otherwise than by my consent to bury him.
Teiresias, it is a sorry thing when a wise man
Sells his wisdom, lets out his words for hire!

How were economic competition and imperialism causes of world war 1?

Imperialism was one of the causes of World War 1. Imperialism means that two countries want to invade the same piece of land as one another. This will result in war because both countries will fight for who gets to take over the other country.
Economic competition was another cause because it was a rivalry of which countries had more profits.
Hope this helps.
