Why is the play 'Antigone' tragic?
The play 'Antigone' is tragic, because all of the main characters except the blind prophet Teiresias Ismene, and Theban King Creon die. Antigone commits suicide by hanging herself with her halter in the walled up cave to which she's sentenced to die. Her first cousin and fiance, Haemon, kills himself with his own sword when he finds Antigone dead. Her aunt by marriage, Queen Eurydice, stabs herself in the chest when she learns of the suicide of her son. The people of Thebes endure great pain and suffering under Creon's dictatorial rule. The city is disgraced by a plague that originates from the rotting, unburied corpses of the disloyal Theban dead.
