The first to commit suicide is Antigone shortly after she is thrown in an entrapment of stones and boulders. As soon as this fatal news reaches Haimons’s ears, he also kills himself. As if that wasn’t bad enough, even Queen Eurydice commits suicide in suffocating grief of her son’s death. In punishment of not facing his mistakes, Creon lost son, his Queen, and all respect from his people. These loses know how to bring great regret and guilt to Creon.
