- During Creon and Antigone's argument Anouilh uses the idea that the townspeople are seen as animals or beasts from Creon's point of view throughout the passage. This characterizes Creon as a king and also shows his idea about how he should lead the people. The metaphor suggests that the people are belittled and viewed as unsivilized by Creon. It also suggests that Creon has the power to control them and that they are not cappable of seeing through his lies.
