The line shows the conflict between humans and God. Creon refused to take the advice of others and did not do it deliberately.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Creon is very stubborn and did not listen to anyone. He was very proud and believed that he was always correct. Creon is the uncle of Antigone.
- Antigone wanted to bury her brother but Creon says he was a traitor and refuses his burial. She strongly believes that laws made by kings are imperfect and the laws made by God is perfect.
- Later when Antigone kills herself, he understands that he has done something against God's wish. He understand that he should not discard religion as it provides stability to humans.
