Creon's punishment in Sophocles' "Antigone" is a profound personal tragedy. After enforcing his edict against burying Polynices, leading to Antigone's death, he faces the consequences of his rigid authority and pride. Ultimately, he loses his son Haemon and wife Eurydice, leaving him in a state of despair and isolation, realizing too late the cost of his decisions. This emotional and moral downfall serves as his punishment, illustrating the themes of hubris and the tragic consequences of inflexible leadership.
