Polyneice's Death Leads to More

Our hero Polyneices dies after betraying his own country, Thebes. His death leads to more complicated problems. His strong-hearted sister Antigone gets locked up by King Creon after trying to bury her brother. King Creon disapproves of burying Polyneices, because he believes that when someone betrays the country, they should not be able to be buried. Antigone was later going to get buried alive! But King Creon's son, Haimon tries to persuade his father to understand the situation and release his lover Antigone; he even threatened his father. With the help of blind Tiresias, King Creon realizes that he is wrong and decides to bury Polyneices. It is too late; tragedy has already strike. When he returns from burying Polyneices, he finds out that Antigone has hung herself causing Haimon to kill himself because of his love for her. Queen Eurydice also kills herself after hearing the news of her son's death. King Creon is left alone to suffer and learn from the mistakes he made. Will he learn from them or will he make more?
