Creon's notion of justice is severely distorted in OC. He becomes monomaniac .....

.... would have these type of dreams. Instead, people are slaving for companies for more than half of their lives only to retire and be too old to hike Half-Dome in Yosemite, or play softball with their children.

.... One who is reading this may reply by thinking More's decision was asinine. The reader may believe that life is the greatest value to man, and to place anything above it would be asinine. More's behavior was bizarre even to his own time period. His daughter, Margaret, pleaded for him to sign the oath, "Then say the words of the oath and in your heart think otherwise"(81). Her father could not morally be satisfied by this. More believed that when an oath is taken, one is placing his pledging his self and soul.
