The conflict between concience and law is resolved when Creon is punished for acting according to the law and not the conscience of his wise advisors. The resolutions reveals a powerful theme: Divine authority resides in the conscience and is to be regarded as superior to human law. The theme sheds light on the value of the ancient Greeks placed in the power of the gods and an individual's conscience.
