Antigone 4

Creon: She,too. They are all asleep. It must be a good sleep

Page: I don't know sir

I can't find any meaning but im guessing these lines would contain the most connections to the culture because it is at the very end and it seems like Creon now knows all the answers. The sleep part does however connect to what the Chorus was saying about how tragedy creates tranquility. Creon seems to accept the fact that by him declaring Poly. to be eaten by dogs and what not he subsequently killed the rest of his family. That is also the main point of the long part for the Chorus. It/he/they say that any one little thing can start a tragedy and after that it willl all happen without our help. Now that I think about it these lines are more of a proof for the Chorus that what is said about tragedies is actually true.
