Antigone or Creon

Who is more correct in their actions or words, Antigone or Creon? Who is more fair or rational? Argue one or the other while referencing specific parts.

I think that neither Antigone nor Creon were entirely correct in their actions or words and i would argue that Antigone was more correct in her words, while Creon was more correct in his actions. Antigone knew what she wanted to say and said it well, while Creon let hubris take over what he said. Creon's actions on the other hand are more correct, because they represent the good of his city rather than only his own wishes, instead Antigone's actions are selfish and have many repercussions which she is fully aware of.

I feel that Creon is more rational in the beginning of the book. He isn't distracted in his decisions like Antigone. He makes the decisions he makes after careful considerations of how it will effect others both in the short term and the long term. Antigone on the other hand, is blinded by her love for her brother and her grief at her brothers death. Her actions are based solo on her determination to honor her brother in any way she can. She doesn't considered the consequences of her actions.

At the end of the book Antigone is more rational. She isn't swept up in her own pride like Creon. She stays calm and argues logically. On the other hand Creon, knowing he has lost the argument doesn't swallow his pride. instead he makes the argument personal which further proves Antigone's point. Antigone's solid purpose makes her more rational, where Creon who doesn't care as much as Antigone can't swallow his pride and act like a man.
