... to extremes. A selection of art can be deemed as
offensive to the general public. This does not mean that restrictions
should be placed on it preventing people from viewing it. The taxpayers
money should not go towards the presentation of such works. A large
percentage of funding of the arts comes from private giving. If a minority

... that it is unconquerable.
Through the chorus Creon begins to see that he is wrong and God is
