Death, destruction or disappearance is what happens to each of the major characters in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone, Prince Haemon and Queen Eurydice commit suicide respectively by hanging, impaling with a sword and stabbing with a sharp knife. King Creon ends up losing his family, friends, home, jobs and reputation. No mention is made about Antigone's sister Princess Ismene, who just disappears after Creon releases her as a participant or accessory in Antigone's crime.

What two characters face each other in the major conflict in 'Antigone'?
Antigone and Creon are the two characters that face each other in the major conflict in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon issues a royal edict against burial of the disloyal Theban dead. The edict leaves exposed to wether and wildlife the body of Polyneices, Princess Antigone's beloved brother. Antigone questions the legality of Creon's edict, which contradicts divine guarantees to all Thebans of below ground burials and proper funeral rites.

What are three major events in 'Antigone'?
Polyneices' burial, Antigone's trial and Teiresias' prediction are three major events in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the burial of Polyneices is a major event because it activates the conflict between Theban Princess Antigone and King Creon. Antigone's trial is a second major event because it sets in motion the fatal responses of Antigone, Prince Haemon and Queen Eurydice to Antigone's live burial and suicide. Teiresias' prediction is a third major event because it starts up the process of reversing the non-burial edict and overthrowing Creon.
What is the minor conflict in 'Antigone'?
Whether or not to obey the royal edict is the minor conflict in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the phrase minor conflict describes a disagreement that does not involve both main characters but that relates to their main conflict. The description fits the opening disagreement between the Theban sister Princesses Antigone and Ismene. Antigone insists that their brother Polyneices must be buried and that the royal edict of non-burial therefore must be disobeyed. In contrast, Ismene maintains that the laws of the city must not be broken. The disagreement relates to the major conflict between the main characters, Antigone and Creon, over the ultimate authority figures in life and death.
Who survives in 'Antigone'?
Ismene, Teiresias, and Theban King Creonsurvive in 'Antigone'. All of the other major characters die. Antigone kills herself rather than die a slow and painful death walled up in a remote cave. Haemon kills himself rather than live without his first cousin and fiancee, Antigone.
