Death is what Creon wishes for at the end of "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon is all alone. He loses everyone and everything that gives meaning to his life. He thinks only of death to end the heartbreak and humiliation of friendlessness, homelessness, joblessness and powerlessness.
Theban King Creon is mortal. So, yes, he does die. It just doesn't happen in the play 'Antigone'.
That his sufferings at least equal hers is what Antigone wishes upon Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone buries her brother Polyneices. She thereby complies with a divine law that now is contradicted by her uncle King Creon's recent royal edict. Death is the punishment for violating Creon's law. Antigone thinks that Creon needs to experience at the bare minimum what she faces.

Creon is his dad and antigone is his cousin
in my home examination there was a question like, who is the protagonist of the play, antigone or creon?i thought it ws open ended and we can choose anyone.therefore i chose antigone. but out of 10 marks i scored only 2 because the right answer was creon. creon realised his mistakes at the end and felt guilty for his action, where as antigone didn't feel any guilt. so creon is the protagonist.
Both Antigone and Creon meet tragic ends, but Antigone's is more tragic in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, an end is tragic when the outcome of a human life leads to suffering or takes an unfortunate turn. The description fits both Theban Princess Antigone and King Creon. Antigone's end is tragic because she loses her life and therefore forfeits the opportunity to marry her beloved first cousin, Prince Haemon and to have children with him. Creon's end is a bit less tragic since he still lives at the play's end even though he loses everyone and everything that gives his life meaning.
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.
