Because she has a different opinion and because she is young, female and related to Oedipus, Creon is hard-hearted towards Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon thinks that as monarch he has the monopoly over making decisions and carrying out policy. He accepts no opinions, input or influence from others. In particular, he disparages the opinions of the young and inexperienced and of women. Additionally, he considers Antigone, his niece and intended daughter-in-law, a younger, feminine version of his brother-in-law and former royal colleague, the impetuous, incestuous Theban King Oedipus.

Antigone was (engaged to?) Haemon, Creon's son, which is why he was so upset when she died.
Creon's wife's name in Antigone is Eurydice.
Creon wants the guards to hurry to Antigone in the cave because Teiresias (the blind prophet) told him that two family members would die is Antigone did. So at that, Creon needed to save her.
Niece to uncle is Antigone's relationship to Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is the eldest daughter of disgraced Theban monarchs Oedipus and Jocasta. Queen Jocasta is Creon's sister. Antigone therefore is Creon's niece.
in my home examination there was a question like, who is the protagonist of the play, antigone or creon?i thought it ws open ended and we can choose anyone.therefore i chose antigone. but out of 10 marks i scored only 2 because the right answer was creon. creon realised his mistakes at the end and felt guilty for his action, where as antigone didn't feel any guilt. so creon is the protagonist.
Antigone is,
He doesn't let Antigone bury her brother. When he found out that she disobeyed him, Creon had Antigone killed.
