shness, dwells with sin. Never may he share my hearth, never think my thoughts, who doth these things (qtd. in Waldock "Sophocles" 113)This quote speaks about Creon and what type of person he is after having done what he did. It is saying that Creon is filled with sin. He honors the laws of the land but he doesn't acknowledge the laws of the Gods who swore him into that position. This could also be saying that Creon is somewhat of a hypocrite, which is not a very good quality. In a way, Creon courted his own ruin, so he deserves what he gets.In conclusion, it seems that Antigone's side of this whole conflict was more "right" than wrong. Antigone was only following what she believed in, by giving her brother Polyneices a proper burial despite what the human law set up by Creon had specifically stated. There should be a point where both sides, divine law and human law, should be looked at with an open mind, because many times conflict occurs over which side should be taken. I believe that divine law should be highly regarded, but I also believe that the laws set up by man should be acknowledged and followed, with the exception of foolish laws that are set up, such as the law that King Creon made up. One must carefully weigh out divine law and human law if they are put in a situation where one of the sides must be taken. My conclusion is that Antigone was right for having buried her brother, and that Creon was wrong for even making up this law with the penalty of death....
