Empathy for the Patriarch
Creon causes me to feel more pity and fear due to his stubbornness and egoistic features. Creon feels that only men can have power, and they should be allowed to use their power however they feel necessary or correct. Creon is selfish and will use his power for his own good. He does not care what the people think and will only do what he thinks is right. If Creon had continued to use his power in this way, he could make several incorrect decisions that could potentially lead to destruction of the people, city, or even the world. Because of his stubbornness, Creon may make a decision to put random innocent people to death when he has a bad day, or could misuse his power in such irresponsible ways. I feel more empathy for him because of his disability to correctly use his power.

You make some really good points here, Rahul. I think it makes sense to say that Creon has the ability to misuse his power, which is potentially really dangerous.
