Over the course of the play Antigone,
Creon becomes a more sympathetic character.  At the beginning of the play, Creon is
entirely stubborn and insists that there should be no mercy for Polyneices.  When he
learns that Antigone has in fact attempted to bury her brother's body, Creon orders that
she be put to death.  He will not let Haemon reason with him, and Creon tells his son
that he has been pushed over by a woman.  Creon insists that the people of Thebes
respect his orders as King.  However, over time Creon begins to see that he is being
blinded by the laws of men.  Great tragedies befall his family and Creon begins to
change his ways; however, he is ultimately too late to save the ones closest to him.  In
the end, Creon does learn that his earlier stubborn nature has led him to his own
downfall.
