Life is like water
Anouilhs repeats the idea that life is like water over and over again in Creons argument with Antigone. This give us a lot of insight into Creons character and what his view on life are and how they influence his decision and mental attitude.

Abstract idea of paying ofr you decsions
Anouilh repeates the idea of paying for your decsions in life. Creon talks about how he doesn't want Antigone to die as a payment to peace and securtiy for the city and Antigone counter with the idea that Creon must pay for saying yes to being king and that his suffering is the paymetn for his yes. This idea that the characters must pay for thing with pain and struggles in their life makes it seem like their characters got the lossing end of a deal.
