As a result of his stubborn attitude and refusing to listen to Antigone, Haemon, and the citizens of Thebes, Creon blinds himself to the true situation. In the end, what results from this is that his son Haemon commits suicide to die along with his lover, Antigone, and his wife, Eurydice, also commits suicide. Another of his sons, Megareus, had died earlier after Creon sacrificed him to save Thebes (Tiresias the seer had told him that Thebes would guaranteed a victory against the Seven Against Thebes if Megareus was sacrificed). Cursing Creon for his stubbornness and blaming him for the death of their two sons, Eurydice stabs herself with a sword.
Thus, because of Creon's own selfishness and short-sightedness, he met his fate: his entire family was killed, and a descendant of an earlier Theban king, named Lycus, kills Creon and takes the crown. In the end, Creon lost everything.

What is the climax in 'Antigone'?
The climax of Antigone is when Creon and Antigone have their confrontation, and Creon realizes he cannot overpower her. She goes on teasing and disobeying him, and so he angrily condemns her to death. The second time a climax could occur is when the reader realizes that Antigone has killed herself right before Creon decided to release her. It's an ironic twist that emphasizes the tragic aspect of the play. Depending on your perspective, either one of those could be the climax.The climax, I believe, is the argument that takes place between Antigone and Creon since that is where the play actually begins.Their argument is what will, eventually, decide the fate of Polynices and Antigone herself.
