Causes Of Downfall Of Creon

Prideful Downfall

“For pride is a spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense.”. This short phrase from C.S. Lewis packs a big punch. This quote embodies the exact cancer that Creon, a fictional king from the acclaimed play “Antigone” by Sophocles, had. Throughout the progression of the story readers begin to notice many of Creon’s great qualities along with his flaws. These flaws ended in Creon’s own demise. His story told a lesson of the effects of pride. Sadly, this story has not set an example for many others of high statuses today. Creon was a tragic hero of yesterday’s time.
