It is not so much Creon as Antigone who does the contradicting in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon does not believe it just to treat a Theban loyalist and a Theban traitor in the same way. He feels that god-given rights of all Thebans to below ground burials does not discourage future civil war and violent challenges to his rule and that of his successors. He maintains that it insults Eteocles the loyalist to be buried in the same way as his twin brother Polyneices the traitor. Princess Antigone offers her ready contradictions to this and everything else that her uncle Creon tries to say.
How is Creon in conflict with Antigone
Creon is Antigone's uncle.
That they feel the way that she does but dare not contradict Creon is what Antigone says about the true feelings of the chorus in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone stands alone in her open defiance of King Creon's person and his laws. But she represents her view as that of the silent majority. She points to the chorus of Theban elders and to the Theban people as subjects who oppose the non-burial edict but hesitate to brave her uncle's fierce, swift temper.
If Antigone disobeys Creon's Law in "Antigone," Antigone is to be sentenced to death.
Creon is his dad and antigone is his cousin
No, Creon does not contradict Antigone so much as she contradicts him in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone breaks her uncle King Creon's law of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. She intends to be caught and punished. She knows her best strategy to be disrespectful contradicting, which she does to perfection. For example, Creon mentions the disrespect of treating the same two brother who fight each other to death from opposite sides in the recent civil war over the Theban royal succession. Antigone replies that Eteocles and Polyneices are brothers, not master and slave, in life and death.

Creon is his dad and antigone is his cousin
Creon's wife's name in Antigone is Eurydice.
Niece to uncle is Antigone's relationship to Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is the eldest daughter of disgraced Theban monarchs Oedipus and Jocasta. Queen Jocasta is Creon's sister. Antigone therefore is Creon's niece.
