What is the resolution to the conflict between Antigone and Creon?

Resolution refers to the working out of all of the dramatic complications in the play. It reduces a complex situation to a simple one. It occurs after the climax, or turning point, which is where Haemon stands up for first cousin and fiancee Antigone against his father, Theban King Creon.So the resolution begins with Haemon's walking out on his father. It ends before the conclusion, which is where Creon grieves over his wife Theban Queen Eurydice's suicide and ends up being exiled. So the resolution ends with the suicides of Antigone, Haemon, and Eurydice.
