1. "Think, son think! To err is human, true, and only he is damned who having sinned will not repent, will not repair." (Tiresias, 237)

2. I believe that this quote is significant to the entire play because it says that making an error is not wrong, but not admitting and correcting your mistakes is. In Oedipus the King, all of the evidence added up that Oedipus killed Laius, but he did not want to hear it and kept rejecting every statement Tiresias put towards him. Sure the people of Thebes would be mad at Oedipus, but he could have accepted the facts sooner and tried to repent to gain the crowd's forgivness. In Antigone, Creon wanted to make sure his proclomation for the dead body was carried out so the citizens would think he was truthful. Unfortunately for Creon, he was too arrogant and believed in his words so much they turned in him. Creon kept barking orders for the death of Antigone that he was blinded from seeing that the gods did not want that to happen. Eventually, Creon's blindness and arrogance in one way or another caused the death of his niece, his son, and his wife.

3. Why does Creon still kill Antigone even after he was warned many times not to?
