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.

What does Creon decide to do with Antigone in 'Antigone'?
Bury her alive is what Creon decides to do to Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone breaks a recent royal edict by burying her brother Polyneices. The punishment calls for Antigone to die under a shower of stones thrown by the Theban people. But Antigone's uncle, King Creon, changes his mind and decides that he wants to get Antigone out of sight, out of mind of all Thebes.

It is to her last earthly presence among them that Antigone begs the people of Thebes to bear witness in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is processing to the remote cave where she will be buried alive.

He does not care or know how much the people of Thebes take sides in the matter of the edict of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. He has no idea that his people fear and silently oppose him and admire and silent support his niece.

That they support her but are afraid is what Antigone says about the people of Thebes and what they think about the situation in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone buries her brother Polyneices. This is in compliance with divine will and Theban traditions but in contradiction of her uncle King Creon's illegal edict of non-burial. Antigone says that Theban support her in word and deed and oppose Creon but are too afraid to show their opposition.
What is supposed to happen if Antigone disobeys Creon's Law in 'Antigone'?
If Antigone disobeys Creon's Law in "Antigone," Antigone is to be sentenced to death.
