Theban King Creon acted ruthlessly throughout most of the story about Antigone. He had taken the throne as the closest relative to the previous rulers, his power-sharing nephews Eteocles and Polyneices. The King was determined to consolidate his rule by focusing on strict obedience to harsh laws and severe punishment to violators. Creon allowed no input from his family, his friends, or his people in deciding which laws were needed for his government program of Law and Order. Neither did he tolerate any discussion, dissent or opposition. And so he also could be described as acting arrogantly, coldly, and inconsiderately towards other.
