Quote: "Then lead me please away, a rash weak foolish man, a man of sorrows, who killed you son, so blindly. And you my wife-so blind. Where can I look? Where hope for help, when everything I touch is lost and death has leapt upon my life."- Creon pg. 252
Significance: This quote not only shows that Creon acted similar to Oedipus, but also shared a similar fate to Oedipus. Because of his downfall, Creon realized his tragic flaw, and left the throne, the same as Oedipus had done before him.
Question: Was it just power that corrupted Creon, or did his son's betrayal of him turn him into what he would become?
