Answer:

Creon expects total obedience from his subjects

Step-by-step explanation:

In scene 1 of Antigone, we can see the order that Creon issued for no one to make a funeral for Polynices, and whoever disobeyed him would be punished with death. This shows how Creon demanded his respect for authority and expected everyone to obey him. However, Antígone is willing to make the funeral of Polynices, because she believes that the inmotion deserves to be veiled as a member of the family and not an indigent.
