Alina · Answer 1

Creon is the answer.

Explanation:

The question refers to Antigone, a play written by Sophocles. The play can also be understood as a sequel of Seven Against Thebes, a play written by Aeschylus ... It is part of the three Theban plays as well as Oedipus Rex and Oedipus at Colonus. Even though Antigone is the last of them, it was the first one to be written. Creon is the new ruler of Thebes and also brother to the former Queen Jocasta.

Guess you are referring to Sophocle's Antigone:

If this is a tragedy, the protagonist must be Creon: he is the one destroyed by hamartia. Antigone, great as she is, is only the antagonist, the one who brings Creon to his fate.
