How much do you think Creon is to blame for the suicides of Antigone and Haemon and Eurydice?
Creon is to blame for everyone's suicides. Creon places Antigone and Haemon in a situation where they only way they saw to get out of was to commit suicide. When Eurydice found out that Haemon had committed suicide due to Creon she went to her room, where she cursed Creon before taking her own life. If Creon had not be so stubborn and not placed Antigone in the cave no one would have died. But it is a greek tragedy, so the ending must of course be tragic. :]
Why is the sentry afraid to tell Creon about Polyneices' burial in 'Antigone'?
It is fear of false blame and undeserved punishment that makes the sentry afraid to tell Creon about Polyneices' burial in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the sentry is acquainted with Theban King Creon's narrow sense of right and wrong. He knows that Creon considers breaking his law wrong and punishing the offender right. He also knows that Creon may punish the bearer of bad news if there is no other person in sight to blame.

What does Antigone wish upon Creon in 'Antigone'?
That his sufferings at least equal hers is what Antigone wishes upon Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone buries her brother Polyneices. She thereby complies with a divine law that now is contradicted by her uncle King Creon's recent royal edict. Death is the punishment for violating Creon's law. Antigone thinks that Creon needs to experience at the bare minimum what she faces.
What is to blame for Creon's misery in 'Antigone'?
It is his own foolishness that is to blame for Creon's misery in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon issues an edict that denies to his perceived enemies god-given rights of all Thebans to below ground burials. He therefore makes the foolish mistake of increasing divisions at a time that Thebans need to heal from the first civil war over the Theban royal succession. Additionally, he puts himself on a collision course with the gods.
What does Creon accuse Teiresias of wanting to do to him in 'Antigone'?
To turn him into a target is what Creon accuses Teiresias of wanting to do to him in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon feels defensive about his edict denying to Theban traitors the god-given rights of all Thebans to below ground burials. Teiresias observes that Creon's edict is responsible for a pestilential environment, polluted altars and wrathful gods because of unburied Theban bodies. Creon responds that Teiresias and other disgruntled Thebans just find it easy to try to blame the king for everything that goes wrong in Thebes.
Whom does Creon initially blame for Polyneices' burial in 'Antigone'?
Hired thugs are the individuals whom Creon initially blames for Polyneices' burial in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon knows that people oppose him and his rule. He describes them as being powerful but cowardly. He concludes that his enemies bribe people who need money to break Creon's law of non-burial.
What is Creon's attitude in the fifth scene of 'Antigone'?
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.
Why does Creon choose the particular method of execution that he does and what does it say about him?
Creon actually talks about this with Tiresias. He tells him that he cannot risk incurring the wrath of the gods by killing a woman who was only holding up their laws. He does not want to doom Thebes any more than it already is. He says that walling up Antigone will mean that he didn't actually execute her, but she will die. He only chose this method of execution because he does not want the blame of her death on himself. This says that Creon is not a very smart man. To the Greek audience, the gods were all-knowing, and if Creon thinks he can thwart them by doing this, he is very foolish.
