That she has some disappointments and regrets but basically looks forward to happiness in death are Antigone's thoughts before killing herself in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone explains that her families ties, religious devotion and ummaried status lead her to defend her dead brother Polyneices' rights at the cost of her own life. She expresses vague disappointment at not being married and having children. She also indicates vague regret at being executed for breaking a royal law in her compliance with divine law when the gods are all powerful and rule life and death.

What is the climax in 'Antigone'?
The climax of Antigone is when Creon and Antigone have their confrontation, and Creon realizes he cannot overpower her. She goes on teasing and disobeying him, and so he angrily condemns her to death. The second time a climax could occur is when the reader realizes that Antigone has killed herself right before Creon decided to release her. It's an ironic twist that emphasizes the tragic aspect of the play. Depending on your perspective, either one of those could be the climax.The climax, I believe, is the argument that takes place between Antigone and Creon since that is where the play actually begins.Their argument is what will, eventually, decide the fate of Polynices and Antigone herself.

Why does Creon say that his hands will be clean after taking Antigone to the vault in 'Antigone'?
That she will kill herself before she dies as a result of his punishment is the reason why Creon says that his hands will be clean after taking Antigone to the vault in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone breaks one of her uncle King Creon's laws for which the punishment is dying at the hands of stone-throwing Thebans. Creon concludes that Antigone has the wits and communication skills to turn Thebans against him and his unpopular edict. He therefore decides to have Antigone walled up in a remote cave with enough food to survive but in such a scary place that she will die at her own hands before dying from his ultimate sentence of death by starvation.

Yes, Creon is responsible for at least three deaths in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon sentences his niece, Princess Antigone, to death by live burial and starvation. He hopes that she will kill herself long before she naturally gasps her last breath. He gets his wish when Antigone hangs herself. But the suicides of Prince Haemon, Antigone's betrothed and Creon's son, and of Queen Eurydice, Haemon's mother and Creon's wife, follow in quick succession. Creon causes all of the deaths to happen through his first cruel sentencing of a young girl who chooses the gods over him.

No, Thebes does not die in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the city of Thebes is polluted by the unburied bodies of the dead Argive enemies and Theban traitors from the recent civil war over the royal succession. Teiresias the blind prophet indicates that the contamination will end with the burial of Polyneices' body and Antigone's release from the remote cave in which she is buried alive. The pestilential environment indeed does end with Polyneices' timely burial even though Antigone kills herself before she can be freed.
