Creon is portrayed as the antagonist in the story because of the decisions he made through the course of the story. Creon is a very stubborn and selfish ruler of Thebes. Creon is the father of Haimon, who was engaged to Antigone, and is the brother of Iocasta.

Creon's motive was to honor only one of the deceased siblings, that being Eteocles. Creon planned a honorable and proper funeral for Eteocles, but did not believe that the other fallen sibling, Polyneices, deserved a burial because Creon believed that he rebelled against Eteocles

Creon's actions led to consequences for several of the people that were dearest to his life. For example, when Creon sent Antigone into the wild to be locked up and pass away, his son Haimon says he would take his own life, which he does. Since Haimon killed himself, Creon's wife, Eurydice, becomes distraught and also kills herself.

I chose Creon because, in my opinion, he had the most brutal ending at the end of the story. We find out at the end of the story that Creon is punished for his actions against Antigone and that punishment is lasting a long life without his loved ones.
