Sophocles' character Antigone is the heroine of the Greek tragedy of the same name. As the virtuous protagonist, she choses to defy the king's edicts and bury her brother Polyneices. She clearly values the laws of nature and the gods over the orders of temporal rulers such as Creon. Her disobedience results in her eventual death.
Creon fears these things the most in the play Antigone: 1. His authority being challenged by a woman and 2. His pride being hurt by Antigone If, however, you are reffering to what does Creon fear most in the actual character Antigone, then the answer would be pretty much the same as the above stated #1.
Yes, Antigone and Creon are the most important characters in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone and King Creon determine the course of events in the play by their individual acts and their combined interaction. All other action is affected by and reactive to the struggle between the niece and her uncle. That makes them the most important characters and their struggle the most important theme in the play.
If Antigone disobeys Creon's Law in "Antigone," Antigone is to be sentenced to death.
Love is the emotion that most likely causes Ismene to want to join Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Ismene argues against her sister Princess Antigone's burying their brother Polyneices out of fear of the lethal punishment. She ends their interaction saying that Antigone is dear to her. It is brave of her to want to join Antigone. She may be doing it because of the hopelessness of the situation. Or she may be doing it in the hopes of extenuating circumstances, leniency or outright pardon from their uncle, King Creon.

The chorus comments on the actions of the main characters in the play 'Antigone'. Most of their comments deal with the actions of Theban King Creon. But the chorus also comments on the single-focused passionate fury of Antigone.
Most of the play lacks any mention of what Antigone wore. But there's a passing reference to her clothes when Haemon finds her lifeless body. Antigone uses a halter from her clothing to hang herself. And the text mentions that she is dressed in linen.
Antigone is the anarchist.
Antigone is the Protagonist.
To die as punishment for breaking the law is what Antigone considers the most evil of all deaths in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone respects her existence as broken up into a short life and a lengthy after death experience. She therefore sees death as leading logically and nobly to where mortals are intended to go. But she states that death is not proud when it comes as a result of breaking the law and being punished.
Antigone, Teiresias the blind prophet, and Theban King Creon don't talk all together about profit and loss in monetary terms. They aren't all on the stage at the same time in 'Antigone'. In fact, playwright Sophocles [496 B.C.E.* - 406 B.C.E.] doesn't give Antigone and Teiresias any opportunity in which to interact. Creon is the only character of the three who gets to interact with everyone else.
