Antigone is a well written and rehearsed play for about a thousand years. It is known as a Greek tragedy that has remembered characters and gives life lessons. One character in particular that is fascinating is Creon in both of the translations of Richard Braun and Jean Anouilh. Braun’s Kreon is not only spelled different than Anouilh but he also has a different attitude such as one of determination and sturdiness in making laws. Anouilh’s Creon in the play Antigone is more persuaded by other characters in the story when it comes to decision making such as by his son Haemon. By comparing and contrasting both Braun’s and Anouilh’s K/Creon, it is evident that Braun’s Kreon is most consistent in his own behaviors and proclamations. To understand why Braun’s Kreon is more consistent, one has to compare the similarities between both K/Creons. The story line of Antigone stayed the same for the most part, therefore, naturally, both K/Creons made a law that told the people of Thebes that none were allowed to bury Polynices and the punishment for disobeying this law would be death. They are both power hungry kings that do not care for their authority to be questioned. Both have a temper and the suspicious feeling that someone is trying to take the title of king from him. “The precious, innocent blood of a child on my hands. They must have accomplices in the Guard itselfWould you defy me with your little shovel? Of course you would. You would do it, too” (Anouilh 36). “They mutter about me, they hide, shake their heads,/ instead of properly shouldering the yoke and working with,/ the team,/ which is the one way of showing love to me./ those are the men that did this, I’m positive./ they were seduced with money unless you find me the perpetrator of this burial,/ death won’t be enough,/ you’ll hang alive till you tell me who did it,/ just so you’ll, all of you, know from then on,/ not to take bribes, and learn that your love,/ of getting what you can where you can is wrong”(Braun’s 32-33). The differences that distinguish the two K/Creons are their reactions to events that happen in the play and how they approach the solution. Braun’s Kreon has the tone of being more serious and persistent in his goals. When he set the edict of no one is to bury Polynices, he meant it. It was as if he showed no sympathy or no way for Antigone to redeem herself. When she violated the edict, Kreon held his stance when he found out that it was Antigone who committed the crime. “Laws were made. She broke them. / Rebellion to think of it, / then to do it and do it again, / now more defiance, bragging about
