A superior king? Creon

Like any great and strong leader, Creon feels as though his city should be blessed by the god's. So to achieve this goal, he must make sure the god's are not angry with his country whatsoever. With him in power, the law should not be broken. "I will never hold my tongue if I see that our city is in harm's way! Nor will I ever make friends with an enemy of Thebes. Because I know one thing absolutely: that our safety relies on us traveling upon a steady ship. Only then can we make friends. It is by these laws that I will hold our city strong." As you can see, Creon is a man of valour and gratified leader. He knows that it is his duty to keep the country away from mischief and into a serene environment. When Creon mentioned ship, I immediately remembered a quote that my teacher used a long time ago when we were graduating sixth grade. She said that "life is a ship and we travel along steadily" when all is calm. However, when calamity strikes in the ship all goes fallocious. This shows us that Creon is a man of honor and pride. He knows that it is his duty to keep the city from danger and all else wrong taking place within the city. Our safety relies on us traveling upon a steady ship. Creon also sounds like a mother telling her children that she cares for her children no matter what. Creon sounds like a very caring and protective mother risking her life for the only people she loves. Nor will I ever make friends with enemies that tell us about how he won't be friends with wrongdoers and people who have no mercy for their country.

Also, I think that Creon is a very obedient man. Since Polynecies has wronged his country, Creon feels that he should be punished for his behavior. It's true that his punishment is imprecise but he feels that no matter what happens people should be safe.
