In the story of Antigone, an argument of who is the main character between
             Antigone and Creon exists. I firmly believe Creon is the protagonist of the play due to
             his role as the key figure of the entire story and being a the traditional tragic hero in the
             end. Creon ends up to be one of those typical fallen heroes in Greek drama. He faces
             many conflicts, internally and externally, and undergoes quite a bit of painful emotions.
             One might argue Antigone should receive the title of being the main character, but Creon

             Polynices, she breaks Creon's law to satisfy the gods, so she tries to do the right thing
             and buries Polynices. When Creon finds out, he sentences her to death by closing up a
             cave with her in it. After regretting what he had done, Creon takes his servants to reopen
             the cave entrance to end up witnessing that Antigone had hanged himself. Haemon,
             Creon's son and the fiancé of Antigone, hurries into the cave thinking she is dead. At
             this point, Haemon gets angry enough to attack Creon but fails to kill his own father.
             Out of anger and remorse, he ended up killing
