Answer:
- Creon reacts angrily to criticism.
- ""The State is the King!""
Explanation:
In the story Antigone by Sophocles, Creon can be described as a mean King who never listened to the warnings given to him by others. When his son Haemon complained about his highhandedness in ruling, he asked his son;
"Is Thebes about to tell me how to rule?"
"Am I to rule this land for others-- or myself?"
Haemon replied that it was not a city if only one man ruled. He then replied;
"What? The city is the king's-- that's the law!"
He exiled his brother Jocasta away from the city of Thebes, taking over the throne and neglecting his nephews Polyneices and Eteocles. This eventually caused a revolt and he did not listen to the warning of the prophet to give Polyneices a proper burial.
