Yes and no, Theban King Creon does and doesn't show 'thanatos'. The noun 'thanatos' is Greek for 'death'. So no, Creon doesn't die a physical death within the confines of the play 'Antigone'. But yes, he does show a death wish and in essence begins a living death at the end of the play. He loses his family, his job, and his home. In fact, he says, '... let it appear, that fairest of fates for me, that brings my last day...'.
