Sophocles' 'Antigone'/ Creon As A Tragic Figure

Abstract: A 5 page paper discussing the characterization of Creon in Sophocles' play, and how he fits the traditional definition of a tragic figure. The paper traces Creon's development through the play, arguing that although his self-righteousness and inflexibility did not change until the end, his motivations degenerated from patriotic ones to personal ones, creating much of the tragic element. Bibliography lists three sources.
