Creon is undone by his pridefulness... hubris.

  • “I am not so infatuate as to grasp The shadow when I hold the substance fast.”
  • “Crave not mastery in all, For the mastery that raised thee was thy bane and wrought thy fall.”
  • “Say I am mad and give my madness rein To wreck itself; the worst that can befall Is but to die an honorable death.”
