Creon As The Tragic Hero In An
612 wordsSophocles' Antigone is, without a doubt, one of the greatest tragedies ever written. There are many questions that somebody could ask about this work, but this one intrigues me the most: Who is the tragic hero? Could it be Antigone? Or could it be Creon?

Antigone Tragic Hero
848 wordsJames Monahan Mrs. Mc Nicholas English 4 AP 11 December 2000 Creon as Tragic Hero Since the play? s inception, there has always existed a contention concerning the true hero of Sophocles?
