'Creon and Antigone are honourable people, yet both are fatally proud, and that is the source of the tragedy.'

Tragedy: any event which is disastrous fatal or dreadful. Both Creon and Antigone were respectable, honourable and someone other people looked up to, yet they were too hubris in their actions and were too over proud of themselves. Pride is a theme that both Creon and Antigone had much of and were too careless about their prideful actions. Loyalty was something that Antigone showed much of towards her family, yet Creon had a wife and …

…is that Antigone is very loyal to her family while Creon is only loyal to himself. Something they also had in common was passion. Antigone was passionate towards her beliefs and rights, although she went as far as killing herself, while Creon was briefly passionate about his beliefs and was soon, very passionate about his family toward the end. Overall, I do agree that Creon and Antigone are honourable people, yet both are fatally proud.
