Antigone suffers more than Creon in the short term, but Creon suffers more in the long term in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone suffers immediately, in this world, because she receives the death penalty and commits suicide. But she will be receive a hero's welcome in the Underworld of the afterlife. In contrast, King Creon loses not his life, but everyone and everything that gives that life meaning: family, home, job, and reputation. The suffering will not end with his earthly life, because he then will be accountable for his misdeeds for all eternity in the Underworld of the afterlife.
