In Sophocles' "Antigone," Creon experiences a profound transformation after the tragic consequences of his decisions. He ultimately wishes for death, overwhelmed by guilt and despair after realizing the devastation his rigid adherence to law has caused, particularly the loss of his son Haemon and wife Eurydice. Creon’s desires shift from power and control to a longing for escape from the pain and suffering that his actions have wrought. His tragic recognition leads him to understand the futility of his earlier convictions.
