Creon. He ordered her death, but Antigone refused to be buried alive, and therefore killed herself by hanging.
If Antigone disobeys Creon's Law in "Antigone," Antigone is to be sentenced to death.
Antigone says, "I belong to death," and "Is death not less than a friend"
Very is the degree to which Creon is responsible for Antigone's death and just a bit less so in those of Eurydice and Haemon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon issues an unjust, unpopular law that forces his niece, Princess Antigone, to choose between a life spent haunted by seeing her brother's body desecrated and dismembered and an early death by burying his body. Creon makes the penalty death and sentences his young niece to a live burial and slow starvation. Antigone opts to commit suicide, which sets in motion the suicides of her betrothed, Prince Haemon, and of her intended mother-in-law, Queen Eurydice.
That everyone except Creon and the chorus oppose it is the conclusion about sentencing Antigone to death in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon issues an edict that his niece, Princess Antigone, disobeys. The civil disobedience makes Antigone eligible for the mandatory death sentence. But just about everyone - her aunt Eurydice, her betrothed Haemon, her sister Ismene and Teiresias the blind prophet - oppose Antigone's death. Creon and the chorus basically stand alone in believing that her deed may be correct but that her uncontrolled passionate outbursts earn Antigone her death.

Haemon's own statement of one death leading into anotherforeshadows his death in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon attempts to talk his father, King Creon, out of sentencing Princess Antigone to death. Haemon loves Antigone, who is his first cousin and bride-to-be. He realizes that his father will not back down. So he says that Antigone's death will not go unaccompanied.
Creon
his punishment for her is for her to be stoned to death.
Creon blames himself for Antigone's death. He also blames himself for his wife Eurydice death and his son Haemon's death as well .
Antigone
Devotion to the gods is what Antigone says is the cause of her death in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone believes in respecting divinely expressed will. She considers the gods as the ultimate authority in life and death. She defends their dominant role when she breaks a royal edict in order to comply with divinely ordained Theban traditions. The gods may be all powerful, but they do not keep King Creon, their earthly representative and Antigone's uncle, from sentencing her to death.
Antigone's mother is also her grandmother. Her father Oedipus, married his mother and bore Antigone and her sister, Ismene. Thus, Antigone blamed her death and her destiny on the curse of her parents marriage.
Kill herself is what happens to Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone breaks her uncle King Creon's law by burying her brother Polyneices. She gets sentenced to death. She hangs herself rather than endure death by live burial and starvation.
