After Antigone has been killed, Haemon, Ismene and Queen Eurydice commit suicide.
Creon at last repents seeing that he has caused all this by acting against the gods.
[Actually, Antigone commits suicide, too. She hangs herself rather than slowly starve to death in the tomb in which Creon has had her sealed. Finding her dead is why Haemon kills himself. Finding that Haemon is dead is why Eurydice kills herself: cause and effect.]
What else can I help you with?
Does Creon die at the end of 'Antigone'?
Theban King Creon is mortal. So, yes, he does die. It just doesn't happen in the play 'Antigone'.
Why is Antigone not the tragic hero in the play 'Oedipus Rex'?
That she is a child who suffers but who is not known to do great things is the reason why Antigone is not the tragic hero of the play "Oedipus Rex."Specifically, a person who is tragic meets with a bad end. A person who is heroic is capable of doing great deeds. The job description matches Antigone's father, Theban King Oedipus, in the play "Oedipus Rex" and herself in the play "Antigone".
Is it Antigone or Creon who meets a tragic end in 'Antigone?
Both Antigone and Creon meet tragic ends, but Antigone's is more tragic in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, an end is tragic when the outcome of a human life leads to suffering or takes an unfortunate turn. The description fits both Theban Princess Antigone and King Creon. Antigone's end is tragic because she loses her life and therefore forfeits the opportunity to marry her beloved first cousin, Prince Haemon and to have children with him. Creon's end is a bit less tragic since he still lives at the play's end even though he loses everyone and everything that gives his life meaning.
How many people died at Antigone?
In the beginning of the Antigone play there are the two brothers that died in battle against one another. Polyneices and Eteocles whom are the brothers of Antigone and Ismene. Towards the end of the play Antigone commits suicide by hanging herself with her halter after being isolated in a chamber by Creon (her uncle i think). After seeing Antigone dead, Haemon (Haimon - who loves Antigone) commits suicide by stabbing himself in the side with his own sword. Once the messenger spreads the word of Haemon's death his mother, Eurydice, commits suicide while cursing her husband Creon's name. I believe she stabbed herself in the heart. Ismene should still be alive at the end of the play all though they do not really say if she is or not. -Five people total die in Antigone that I know of.
