Creon's connection with Parliament

It's so strange and interesting that during this year I've came across so many similarities with my subjects. While reading ," Antigone," I found a very significant quote that Creon had stated. He said " And I feel this: that a man is of no use to his city if he's to govern it by wisdom though by a tongue silenced by some fear. And if a man places anything above his city in friendship, that man I think is worthy of disdain.  Always did, always will. " My translation from this would be that his opinion of a good leader is a individual that stands for the right of the people and works for the good of the people. His country, state, provincial, or community should be first priority on the "important" list. The difference with Antigone is her family comes first before anything. ( The event of her brother's death and how she wants to serve him respect. ) But Creon's whole idea of the best for the country relates back to what I was studying in History just a few days ago. I took notes on government and the idea of Parliament in England as well as other countries completely fits in with his idea. From the 1300s-1600s, parliament gained much power because they had favor for the people and worked for the people. Creon's mentality is one of a Parliament group and I found it amazing how it all circled each other and connected. Somehow or another History and English always connect or works together. These two subjects always intertwine and it makes it a lot easier to understand both because soon everything easily connects and makes sense.
