That the gods rule is the significance of the end of "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the chorus ends with a comment on the foolishness of disrespecting the gods. It is a situation to be avoided at all costs when divine and royal authorities collide and divine and royal laws conflict. The gods leave no disobedience, dishonor or disrespect unpunished.
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.
Theban King Creon is mortal. So, yes, he does die. It just doesn't happen in the play 'Antigone'.
Polyneices is the person whom Antigone buries in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Polyneices is Theban Princess Antigone's brother. His body is left above ground at the end of the recent civil war over the Theban royal succession. Antigone decides to give her brother's body the below ground burial to which he is entitled as a Theban native.
No, Antigone never gets married in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is engaged to her first cousin, Theban Prince Haemon. But the engagement is broken by Theban King Creon, Antigone's uncle and granduncle and Haemon's father. Antigone deliberately breaks the recently issued edict against burial of the disloyal Theban dead, and Creon sentences her to death. She and Haemon end up committing suicide.
The deaths of Antigone and Haemon are foreshadowed at the end of the scene between Creon and Haemon in "Antigone" by Sophocles(495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon sentences Princess Antigone to death for breaking his law against burial of the disloyal Theban dead from the recent civil war over the royal succession. Prince Haemon, Creon's son and Antigone's betrothed, makes an effort to get his father to allow the burials and to pardon and release Antigone. He does not succeed and ends with the fateful comment that the death of one life (Antigone) will cause the destruction of another (his own).

nothing the movie sucked

Creon is because he's the one with all the problems in the end
Haemon is Antigone's betrothed, and loves her. In spite of his father Creon's contempt and opposition of Antigone, he supports her decision to bury her brother Polyneices and is aware of the situation in Thebes: the citizens also support Antigone's decision, although they are too terrified to betray their emotions to King Creon. He even attempts to defend Antigone to Creon, but is ignored. In the end, Haemon's love for Antigone is what causes him to commit suicide after finding her dead body.
Medea is not a character in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Princess Medea does not overlap with Theban Princess Antigone. She nevertheless does visit Thebes as the invited guest of Hercules, Creon's father-in-law and the husband of Antigone's first cousin Megara. But she ends up being hated and chased out of Thebes whereas Antigone earns the admiration of all Thebes for all time.
"Knowledgeable" is the significance of Ismene's name in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Ismene appears to be the younger but more practical and survivalist sister of the rebellious Princess Antigone. Her uncle King Creon characterizes her as having a lifelong track record for wisdom. Her reputation appropriately is reflected in her name, which is thought to derive from the ancient Greek word ισμη (isme) for "knowledge."
That it may be claimed that she dies by natural means is the significance of Creon's death sentence for Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon originally defines dying under a shower of heavy, sharp rocks thrown by fellow Thebans as the capital punishment for burying the disloyal Theban dead. But he does not want to be seen as the direct cause of his niece Princess Antigone's death. Antigone is becoming an increasingly popular and revered martyr to the oldie but goodie ways of family, gods and traditions. So Creon makes the decision to bury her alive in a remote cave outside Thebes. Nature will take its course once her supply of food runs out.
Nostalgic and satisfied but a bit angry, regretful and resentful is Antigone's attitude at the end of "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone demonstrates satisfaction when she revisits the details of and motivations for burying her brother Polyneices. She exhibits anger when she passes by her uncle King Creon. She expresses regret when she mentions inexperienced marital and family life. She manifests a slight, ironic resentment when she declares that she dies precisely because she defends the all-powerful gods.
