No matter – Death longs for the same rites for all. CREON: Never the same for the patriot and the traitor. ANTIGONE: Who, Creon, who on earth can say the ones below don’t find this pure and uncorrupt? CREON: Never. Once an enemy, never a friend, not even after death. ANTIGONE: I was born to join in love, not hate – that is my nature. CREON: Go down below and love, if love you must – love the dead! While I’m alive, no woman is going to lord it over me.
