Creon does not order Antigone to be locked in a vault in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon issues an edict that his niece, Princess Antigone, violates. The sentence is death from being pelted with stones thrown by her fellow Thebans. He commutes the sentence to life imprisonment by being walled up in a remote cave. It is Creon's hope that once out of the public sight, Antigone will not serve as a rebellious example to others and will cease to pollute the environment with her contrary behavior and insubordinate ways.

Why does Creon say that his hands will be clean after taking Antigone to the vault in 'Antigone'?
That she will kill herself before she dies as a result of his punishment is the reason why Creon says that his hands will be clean after taking Antigone to the vault in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone breaks one of her uncle King Creon's laws for which the punishment is dying at the hands of stone-throwing Thebans. Creon concludes that Antigone has the wits and communication skills to turn Thebans against him and his unpopular edict. He therefore decides to have Antigone walled up in a remote cave with enough food to survive but in such a scary place that she will die at her own hands before dying from his ultimate sentence of death by starvation.

Use the word vault in a sentence?
It depends on what way you're using the word. It can be a verb or a noun. As a verb, it means to jump over something, so an example would be: "In order to complete the obstacle course, he had to vault the fence." As a noun, it means a locked place where something is kept, like a bank vault, so a sentence would be: "The gold bars were contained in a locked vault that was difficult to open."
