Antigone-Creon

"My countrymen, the ship of the state is safe." "I've never wandered from your advice before."
"You cannot know a man completely..." "...grumbling against me in the dark, heads together, tossing wildly..." "This boy, I do believe, is fighting on her side, the woman's side." "his ilk has tried to sell me short and ship me off for years."
"...simple death wont be enough for you, not till we string you up alive and wring the immortality out of you." (Falsely accuses the sentry). (Antigone) "Lucky tyrants- the perquisites of power!" "his orders must be obeyed, large and small, right or wrong."
"Sister's child...she and her blood sister, the most barbaric death." (sentences Ismene to death as well as Antigone). "I was breading twin disasters, the two of you rising up against my throne."
"She'll die now, here, in front of his eyes, beside her bridegroom!"
...not even if Zeus' eagles rip the corpse and wing their rotten pickings off to the throne of god!"
"she is the man if this victory goes to her..." "...never let some woman triumph over us." "you woman's slave!"
"There are other fields for him to plough." "Death will do it for me- break off their marriage." (Doesn't care about Haemon's feelings for Antigone).
