Why does Creon become angry with the chorus suggestion as to why body is buried in
Creon becomes angry with the chorus's suggestion as to why Polynices's body is buried because he believes that they are questioning his authority. He sees the chorus's suggestion that the gods may be responsible for the burial as a way of undermining his power and control over the city. Creon is a proud and arrogant leader, and he does not take kindly to any challenges to his authority. He believes that he is the only one who can make decisions for the city, and he does not want the chorus or anyone else to interfere.
