The right answer is ruthless, and this character trait is featured in Creon, the King of Thebes in this tragedy by Sophocles. Creon has become the new ruler, after the brothers and heirs to the throne, Eteocles and Polyneices, killed each other in battle. He orders to bury and honor the former, and to punish the latter by leaving his body unburied in the battlefield. Their sister, the merciful Antigone, wants to honor and bury his rebellious brother's body, even if that entails disobeying Creon's edict, and she proceeds to do so. She is discovered and Creon punishes her by burying her alive in a sepulchre. Creon eventually decides to bury Polyneices and to release Antigone, but when he arrives at the sepulchre he finds out that she has already taken her own life. While Antigone puts her family before her own life, Creon respects and obey the will of the gods whatever the cost.

How do other countries view South Africa now, compared with how they viewed it in the past?
zaharov [31]
This is a complicated matter.  The answer depends upon the particular country and, moreover, who is making the assessment.  In some nations, the general thought is that South Africa serves as the model of a nation that overcame - rather quickly - its racist and fascist leadership.  Other nations - especially those in Western Europe - feel that South Africa, as a nation, still has plenty of strides to make toward racial equality and, moreover, making reparations for past injustices.
