Antigone Quot 2:
"Will no one lance a two-edged sword
Through this bleeding seat of sorrow?"
-Creon, pg.250-

This is significant because in this quote Creon, like Oedipus after losing everything that truly mattered to him, is crying for death to end his misery. it is now when we truly see the likeness between the two and their tragic flaws, and how they lead to their death. (literally and emotionally).

on page 204 the sentry says, "Oh, what crying shame, when right reason reasons wrong!"and on page 248 when the chorus says, "late, too late, your reason reasons right!"
-is there a connection between the two? or is there not one?
