How does shakespeare employ Aristotles theory on tragedy in King Lear?
There is no evidence that Shakespeare had ever heard of Aristotle's Poetics and considerable evidence that he had not. The evidence that he had not is that virtually none of his tragedies pay attention to Aristotle's strictures on what tragedy should be about. For example, King Lear changes from an autocrat, to a madman, to someone who is serenely centred to someone who is shattered by grief. Consider what Aristotle thought were essential to tragic heroes--that they be good (is Lear's treatment of Cordelia and Kent good?), appropriate (is the spectacle of a king stripping himself naked and acting like a child appropriate?), and consistent. King Lear is none of these, and particularly not consistent. The Shakespearean tragic hero who most complies with Aristotle's ideas is Timon in Timon of Athens; the one who least complies is Hamlet. Thank heaven Shakespeare knew nothing of Aristotle.
Can it be argued that Creon is not an Aristotelian tragic hero?
Yes, it can be argued that Theban King Creon isn't an Aristotelian tragic hero. According to Aristotle [384 B.C.E.* - 322 B.C.E.], the tragic hero is a good person who does great things. But he loses everything due to his own tragic flaw. He also realizes his role in foredooming his own tragedy. It's true that Creon loses everything through his tragic flaw of pride. But he isn't a good person, and doesn't do great things. Instead, he's a selfishperson who does villainous things. For example, he refuses to honor the god given rights of his own citizens. Likewise does he remain unmoved by the suffering of his entire city. Creon ends his heartless, ruthless rule only when he sees that bad thingswill happen to him and his family. So he reverses his position only when he and his family are to be included in the suffering. He doesn't reverse his position because of his own self-awareness and self-knowledge. *Before the Christian Era

Is Antigone a good tragic hero?
Yes, Antigone is a good tragic hero. She has the quality of bravery in burying the body of her brother Polyneices against the manmade law of her uncle, Theban King Creon. In so doing, she shows that she acknowledges some moral authority higher than an earthly power such as a monarch. This makes her good. She also suffers for her convictions. She is arrested, receives a death sentence, and commits suicide. This makes her tragic.
