1. Who am I?

Ruler of Thebes. Firm, stubborn, set in his ways yet reasonable. Isn't full of himself with respect to his position, but he fills it confidently and makes it his highest priority. Wearing mask (perhaps the crownish/militaristic style design I doodled?) when posing as ruler. When he is himself with Antigone he is the older man trying to (exasperatedly) impart knowledge on this naive, proud girl.

2. Where am I? When am I there?

My palace at Thebes. I've grown accustomed to it, yet it is not comfortable. It is rich but stark, showing a little neglect due to the recent war. It's morning, before lunch.

3. Objective(s)

The complex one: I want to get an explanation from Antigone so I can analyze her words and use them to support my view and convince her to obey the law. (see below)

4. What do I do to get what I want?

...But before I get there, some simpler obstacles must be conquered. First, I have to get her to listen and respect my authority by bringing us on the same level conversationally but never letting her get the upper hand. I must always be in control of the conversation and make her think about my words.

5. What do I do after I do or do not get what I want?

Then I can resume my place of power and get on with being Creon and dealing with other more minor problems with Antigone, especially in relation to my son's marriage. If I don't get what I want, I'm forced to execute her to save face and the strength of the city.
