ANTIGONE
Denn wer in mannigfacher Noth, der meinen gleich,
450
lebt, wie verschaffte diesem nicht Gewinn der Tod?
So bringet, daſs mich dieses Loos betroffen hat,
mir keine Schmerzen; doch vermöcht' ich ohne Grab
zu sehn den Bruder, meiner eignen Mutter Sohn,
das wäre Schmerz mir, aber jenes schmerzt mich nicht.
455
Und scheine dir ich thöricht jetzt mit meinem Thun,
mag wohl der Thorheit mich ein Thor bezüchtigen.

CREONTE
Pues sabe que estas almas tan fieras con facilidad se rinden, como se rompe el acero más fuerte y bien templado: y yo sé bien que con débil freno se sujetan los corceles más fogosos. Pensar con tal soberbia no es tolerable en quien se halla sometido á los demás. No le ha bastado á esta insensata haberme ultrajado, violando mis decretos, sino que, después de haberlo hecho, añade un segundo ultraje, glorificándose y regocijándose de su acción. ¡Por los cielos! dejaría yo de ser hombre, y entonces el hombre sería ella, si tamaña audacia quedara sin castigo. Aunque sea la hija de mi hermana, aunque se hallara unida á mí por vínculo más estrecho que todos los que adoran á Júpiter en el hogar... ella y la hermana suya, no se han de escapar de una muerte terrible, porque sin duda la otra ha de haber sido su cómplice. Que la hagan venir inmediatamente. No ha mucho la vi dentro de palacio, irritada y fuera de sí: ¡ah! el que medita un crimen á la sombra, con frecuencia se hace traición á sí mismo, antes de ejecutarlo. Pero sobre todo, detesto á los que sorprendidos en el negro crimen, pretenden con palabras darle colorido.

223-330. mvp-comment-136-1 The half-comic or rustic character of the watchman in this play is an extension of the common character of the messenger, whose natural rudeness of speech and thought brings into greater prominence the horror or pathos of the events he describes. The grotesqueness disappears when he speaks of the action of Antigone in 407-440. The employment of this artifice by Sophocles arises from the same motive to which Shakespeare gave a far wider range in such creations as the gravediggers in Hamlet, and the rural fellow in Antony and Cleopatra. The Messenger in the Trachiniae, the Corinthian in the Oedipus Tyrannus, Menelaus in the Ajax, the pretended Shipmaster in the Philoctetes, afford the same sort of contrast to the more tragic personages: and the superstition of the Coloniatae may be compared with the cowardice of the Phrygian slave in the Orestes of Euripides.

223-330. mvp-comment-136-2 The vulgarity of the common-place Athenian of the fifth century в.с. takes the form of misplaced subtlety of wit. Cp. Shak. Hamlet, 5. 1 ,

We must speak by the card, or equivocation will undo us. The age is grown so picked, that the toe of the peasant comes so near the heel of the courtier, he galls his kibe.

262-263. mvp-comment-163-1 The subtlety of the Φύλαξ deserts him in attempting to express his meaning. The perpetrator was every one and no one of us all every one in vague suspicion, and no one evidently: he escaped being known.' τις gives the indefiniteness required by the sense, = πως.
