I can agree with the three of them. They all have very good reasons to be right and also to be wrong. Though who I think is right at the beginning is Creon in my opinion. He his a very important person and he's the king. Though his reason for killing Polynices isn't that great, it is still what he had to do. Since Antigone can't help the fact that the rules apply makes Creon very upset. If he let her bury Polynices in the ground on they're own turf, that just shows what a bad king he is. Creon has a reputation to keep and he can't let people break the rules. It also is a very strict rule and a very harsh punishment that follows it. Creon sentences her to death( Antigone is completely fine with it and takes full blame) and sticks with his decision. It shows that he is fearless and does what he has to do.
Why I admire Creon is so much is he is the type of person who will stick to what is right. He seems like the kind of guy who won't bend the rules for somebody. If you disobey a rule, he will smite and you will be sorry that you ever did what you weren't supposed to do. Though he also has to do these type of things. He is relatively new to the throne and can't really make and mistakes. Otherwise people will think of him as feeble. Think of what other opposing cities would do. They would walk all over him and take his land and be known as the worst king to have ever lived. There's just to much pressure that is put on him through this short time span of being king. Though he seems like he can handle it, and this shows characteristics that I like in somebody, which is why I admire him.

When Bad things happen to Good People
Unfortunately, bad things happen to good people. My dad friend can relate to this because, something bad happened to him, and he was a very loving, and caring person. It was a Saturday, and when Dad was still into motorcycles, he let his friend occasionally ride them. Well that day was a very horrible day. His friend was making a u-turn back to our neighborhood, and a old lady driving made a very stupid decision. While he's riding the old lady decides to pull out from the her neighborhood, and knocks him over. He was never the same after that. He had broke part of his spine , broke both his legs and was in a coma for a few days. He then had a good portion of his body replaced with titanium and was in the hospital for a few days. Why it had to happen to him, who knows. Though it's just unfair it had to happen to him. My dad also quit riding motorcycles after that horrific event happened on that Saturday.
I also can't really make sense of this situation. Really, why did it have to happen to him. There are reasons that possibly could've prevented this situation from happening. The old lady could've made a better decision, she should've quit driving a long time ago, and maybe he just should've driven the motorcycle that day. It's confusing and sad that that this just had to happen.
