What was Creon's view of government?

Answer 1

Theban King Creon had an absolutist and elitistview of government. He thought that the only opinion that counted was his own as ruler of Thebes. He supported government for the enforcement of Law and Order, to consolidate his rule and that of his direct family line. He didn't feel that power needed to be shared. In fact, he considered the powers and responsibilities of government as belonging to him alone. He didn't believe in consulting the people. He wasn't aware of or affected by the happiness and welfare of his people.
