Creon changes his mind but its to late Antigone hanged herself. Antigone and Creon have some differences and similar . They are both different because Antigone is more loyal to her family . Antigone says " I will bury the brother i love " on page. 774 meaning she has lover for her brother and nothing is going to stop her from burying him. Creon isn't as loyal to family because he says "I never knew that these two sisters were aiming at my throne" . Creon doesn't trust his family , therefore he isn't as loyal .

Creon is loyal to the state because he says on page 820 " You will give no support to whoever breaks this law ". Creon will not support people who disobey the state. Antigone and Creon have a lot in common ;for example, they are both willing to put their lifes At risk and are cocky.Creon is willing to put his life at risk because on page.820 .he says " and death it is"Creon would rather put his life at risk when he agrees to death.Antigone. is willing to put her life at risk when she says " But I will bury him ; and if I must die I say this crime is holy" on page 816. I think that they both deserve the blame for the tragic outcome. Antigone should of said yes to Creon when he wanted to help her but she was to stubborn. Creon should of standed up for himself and listen to other instead of being so stubborn and wanting everything his way .
