Antigone hangs herself, causing Haimon to stab himself out of grief. Haimon's death causes Eurydyce to commit suicide.
Haimon attacks his father, Creon, with a sword in the cavern because Creon refuses to let Antigone go free and insists on sealing her in a tomb alive. Haimon's love for Antigone and his disagreement with his father's harsh decision drive him to try to kill Creon in order to prevent the tragedy from unfolding.

Not being able to stop the death of Antigone is the reason why Theban King Creon is unable to stop the tragedy in the play. He understands that he and his family are doomed if he doesn't reverse his previous actions. He's able to get the dead body of his nephew Polyneices buried. But he doesn't get to the cave in time to stop his niece Antigone's suicide. Her suicide inspires the successive suicides of Creon's son Haimon and Creon's wife Theban Queen Eurydice.
That he is in the wrong is the reason that Antigone gives Creon for disobeying his orders in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone breaks a royal edict issued by her uncle, King Creon. The edict conflicts with divine law and Theban tradition. Antigone explains that she breaks Creon's law because he is in the wrong and that she observes divine law because the gods rule.
That she decides to commit suicide is the reason why Antigone dies in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is sentenced to death by live burial and starvation. She leaves no suicide note. But she takes her life by hanging herself with the halter from her own dress.
Stubbornness is the reason that Antigone and Creon cannot resolve their conflict in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, stubbornness refers to a refusal to modify an opinion. This description fits Theban Princess Antigone and her uncle, King Creon. Neither one accepts contrary opinions, and in fact neither one has any interest in information contrary to the emotions and facts upon which they base their opinions.
The facial expression was not important in the Antigone because the message being passed across was very clear. There was therefore no reason for the facial expression.
That her father is cursed is the reason why Antigone thinks her family suffers mistakes in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone cares about the dead members of her family. She is realistic because of a promise to her father, disgraced Theban King Oedipus. Oedipus lets Antigone know that their family suffers because of the curses of the gods.

That they both have experiences with the unburied dead is the reason why Antigone refers to Niobe in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone confronts the pain of her brother Polyneices' unburied body. Niobe faces a similar pain when her children die. The bodies of Niobe's children remain unburied until divine intervention.
