What are Creon's arguments for killing Antigone in 'Antigone'?
That he must not seem weak before his people and that he must protect them from her pollution are Creon's arguments for killing Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon believes that an ordered society requires strict laws, strong rulers, and swift punishment. The king that does not enforce his own laws will be unsuccessful. The ruler who makes exceptions for relatives and women will pollute the environment with unpunished crimes and offenses and bad role models.
Why does Oedipus insist that he has to kill Creon in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That he distrusts him, must make an example of him and needs to kill before being killed are the reasons why Oedipus insists that he must kill Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus believes himself the intended victim of a planned coup by Creon, his brother-in-law and royal colleague, and Teiresias the blind prophet. He concludes that Creon covets all the royal powers. He therefore decides that Creon must be made an example of, to prevent future treachery by Creon and others who are like-minded in wanting what Oedipus has. He also fears for his own life if he does not kill Creon first.
How does the chorus react to Creon's new edict in 'Antigone'?
That he rules as he must and then that he needs to rethink his position are ways in which the chorus reacts to Creon's new edict in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon informs the chorus about his edict against burial of the disloyal Theban dead. The chorus observes that Creon must rule as he must and makes no comment on the law violating divine will and Theban traditions. But just before the end of the play, the chorus says that Creon must violate his own law by burying Polyneices and setting Antigone free.

Does Creon live in 'Antigone'?
Yes, Creon still lives at the end of "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, all that the audience knows is that Theban King Creon loses everything that gives meaning to his life: reputation, job, home, and family. He therefore welcomes death, but does not find it during the confines of the play. There are subsequent variant versions such as Creon being murdered, but Sophocles does not include any final information about Creon in any of his three surviving plays about King Oedipus and his family.

How much do you think Creon is to blame for the suicides of Antigone and Haemon and Eurydice?
Creon is to blame for everyone's suicides. Creon places Antigone and Haemon in a situation where they only way they saw to get out of was to commit suicide. When Eurydice found out that Haemon had committed suicide due to Creon she went to her room, where she cursed Creon before taking her own life. If Creon had not be so stubborn and not placed Antigone in the cave no one would have died. But it is a greek tragedy, so the ending must of course be tragic. :]
What is the meaning of restoreth?

What does Creon think that a ruler must be above all else in 'Antigone'?
Strong is what Creon thinks that a ruler must be above all else in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon believes the weakness must be avoided at all costs. He feels that a strong ruler has job security. Strong rulers make all decisions without any influence, input or intervention from anyone else.
