To Creon, the most important element of the situation is the disregard for his decree -- the strength of the state, he vows, must never be held in check by an individual (especially a woman).

Even though the plots of these two books are very similar and the main characters act very much alike the writing styles of the writers dont look the same.

Death Of Socrates Laws Of The Gods
2,460 wordsWhat Justice Served JUSTICE SERVED What is the relation of the state to the individual? Should obedience be paid to the will of the state, or to the justice with which it conflicts? If loyalty is required, is it conditional; necessary only part of the time? And, given that the state and the individual will inevitably disagree on some issues, who suffers in the end? Through their writings, Plato and Sophocles outline two sides of this issue. In Euthyphro, The Apology, and Crito Plato expresses a ...
