In 'Antigone', Theban King Creon's biggest, most fatal flaw is his pride. He believes that he can issue laws that directly contradict the god-given justice, morality, rites, rituals and traditions by which Thebans live their lives and prepare for their deaths. He believes that he can ignore the responsibilities of an uncle to his nieces and nephews, a sovereign to his people and his prophet, a husband to this wife, a human to his gods, a future father-in-law to his intended daughter-in-law, and a father to his son. All of the many other fatal flaws of the King trace back to that pride. The royal flaws include anger, disrespect, hardheartedness, ingratitude, narrowmindedness, and stubbornness. For example, he shows anger and ingratitude toward the blind prophet Teiresias who just does his job and tries to warn the King of the error of his ways. The King shows disrespect to the gods by issuing a law that goes against the divine code of conduct towards the dead. The King shows hardheartedness towards the disloyal Theban dead and the loved ones that the dead leave behind. TheKing shows narrowmindedness towards Antigone whose compassion leads her to bury Polyneices, who is the King's nephew, her brother, and a disloyal Theban dead. And the King shows stubbornness towards his son Haemon who doesn't want to lose Antigone, who is his first cousin and beloved fiancee.
