That she reminds him of everything that humiliates and pains him in his family background is the reason why Creon does not forgive Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone has the same fanatical devotion to her convictions and the same uncontrolled passionate outbursts as her father, disgraced Theban King Oedipus. The like father like daughter pattern is a sore point with King Creon, who looks to his own back. Creon also likes absolute obedience and unquestioning acceptance of his every word and deed. Antigone never offers either to anyone or anything other than to the dead members of her family and the gods. Additionally, Antigone provokes a split that never is mended between her groom-to-be, Prince Haemon, and his father, King Creon.
