Beware: Those lacking a sense of humour will be sentenced to impalement.
Besides, I'm not like Creon. Creon was into Delphi, and I'm not into Pascal.
His dispute with Antigone is about law vs personal/religious ethics, not about him being a capricious tyrant (besides in the end he relents). Her brother was a traitor.
Now there's a statement. The "good of city" is itself a moral concern.
So, "good of the city" as in "doing what the city deems good", not as in moral.
