    Read the following lines: “They say that Creon has sworn/ No one shall bury him, no one mourn for him, / But this body must lie in the fields, a sweet treasure/ For carrion birds to find as they search for food./That is what they say, and our good Creon is coming here/ To announce it publically; and the penalty- / Stoning to death in the public square.” The author’s purpose in including this statement is to —
