Creon is not a static character in the play "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Creon goes through a complete reversal in actions, beliefs and feelings between the beginning and the ending of the play. For example, he starts out issuing an edict that is contrary to divine will and Theban traditions; he ends up having to withdraw that edict. He starts out believing that women are trouble and can be replaced by a more docile model; he ends up facing a life without Queen Eurydice, who commits suicide rather than spend one second more with him. He starts out feeling superior to everyone else; he ends seeing himself as among the most despicable and unfortunate of mortals.

Who is the static character in 'Antigone'?

Antigone is the static character in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, a static character does not change. Theban Princess Antigone is the only main character who never budges from what she believes, does, says and thinks. She is that way in the course of the play, and Creon characterizes her as always being the same and unchanging foolish self since birth. In contrast, all the other main characters are dynamic in that they undergo changes in behavior and beliefs.
