Does Creon show any regret or hesitation in sentencing Antigone to death in 'Antigone'?
No, Creon shows no regret or hesitation in sentencing Antigone to death in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon dislikes his niece, Princess Antigone. He does not like the way she talks or what she does with her time. He likes the thought of removing her permanently from the presence of Prince Haemon, his only son and Antigone's betrothed.
Why does the guard lead Antigone to Creon in 'Antigone'?
It is because she is caught breaking the law that the guard leads Antigone to Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone breaks her uncle King Creon's edict of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead.

What is the conclusion about sentencing Antigone to death in 'Antigone'?
That everyone except Creon and the chorus oppose it is the conclusion about sentencing Antigone to death in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon issues an edict that his niece, Princess Antigone, disobeys. The civil disobedience makes Antigone eligible for the mandatory death sentence. But just about everyone - her aunt Eurydice, her betrothed Haemon, her sister Ismene and Teiresias the blind prophet - oppose Antigone's death. Creon and the chorus basically stand alone in believing that her deed may be correct but that her uncontrolled passionate outbursts earn Antigone her death.
