Devastated by his misdeeds is Creon's attitude in the fifth scene of "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Creon already experiences before his very eyes the Horror of his only surviving child, Prince Haemon, try to kill him and then succeed in killing himself. He makes the trip back to the palace. There he receives the news of the suicide of his wife, Queen Eurydice. The messenger says that Eurydice's last words are of blame and curse as far as Creon is concerned. Creon speaks of looking forward to death because of the pain and suffering brought by him to his family and to all Thebes.

How is Ismene portrayed in this scene and the prologue Does your attitude about her change in this scene?

In the prologue and the first scene of "Antigone," Ismene is portrayed as cautious and pragmatic, contrasting sharply with Antigone's boldness and determination. She initially embodies a sense of loyalty to the state and the law, expressing fear of the consequences that defiance might bring. My attitude towards Ismene shifts as I see her vulnerability; while she may seem passive, her concerns reflect a realistic understanding of their dire situation. This complexity makes her character more relatable, highlighting the struggle between personal morals and societal obligations.

The setting of the entire play "Antigone" is in Thebes, the background is the Palace of Thebes. There were no scene changes that actually took place, it would be difficult and awkward for there to be a scene change so there were eleborate messenger speeches to provide a vivid picture of where the scene is taking place.
