That he's King of Thebes is what makes Creon a character of high status. Status refers to an individual's socio-economic position. In Thebes, the royal crown gives its wearer topmost status in the city. Among many reasons, the monarch is in direct line of descent from Cadmus, the city's founder and first king.
Creon's character in Sophocles play has various personalities and traits that made him a very dynamic character in the said play. Three of these personality traits are stubbornness, power and strength.
Status in drama is the level in society a character is. For instance, a king would have very high status while a peasent would have very low status. Status can be raised or lowered depending on other characters.

Im a student and I do drama at school. If you are talking about "high and low status" as a element of drama, it is used to portray the importance and superiorness of a character, or their insignificance. For example if one character was alot more powerful than the other, that character could be standing, while the insignificant character might be sitting or lying on the ground to portray this. Hope this may be of some help.yes this helps alot

That his life takes an unfortunate turn is the reason why Creon is a tragic character in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon's life takes a most unfortunate turn, largely through his own flawed character. For example, at the play's beginning, he is king of his city and in his own household. By the play's end, he has no friends, heirs, home, job or wife.
There are many areas where women enjoyed high status like Egypt. Women also enjoyed high status in the Maurya empire.
Creon does not prove himself to be the tragic hero in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, a hero is the main character who does great deeds and holds great powers. He is tragic when his life ends unfortunately or takes an unfortunate turn. Theban King Creon lacks great powers and does no great deeds. But his life turns tragic because of his flawed character and his own misdeeds.
Whether you're referring to Antigone or Oedipus Rex, Creon, while a major character, is not the central figure in either story, so it would be misleading to call it "King Creon." Sort of like calling "The Outlaw Josey Wales" "Senator James Lane" instead.
