| Focus more about the sacred itself. For instance, does Creon show much concern for the sacred in Antigone. Why is burial important? Look closely at what the prophet said to him. The killing of the king was a ritual and not just an exchanging of a better for the worse. In such a culture the king, including the killed king was sacred. The act was sacred. But Oedipus’s arrogance to Creon would not be considered a violation of the sacred. |
