Creon's attitude towards his son Haemon is particularly revealing. Haemon loves Antigone and wants to marry her, but Creon forbids him from doing so. Creon believes that Antigone is a traitor, and he does not want his son to marry a traitor. Haemon tries to reason with his father, but Creon refuses to listen. He tells Haemon that he must obey his orders or face the consequences.
Haemon's defiance of Creon leads to his death. Creon's stubbornness and pride prevent him from seeing the truth about Antigone and her love for Haemon. As a result, he makes a decision that costs him his son's life.
Creon's story is a cautionary tale about the dangers of pride and stubbornness. It shows that even the strongest and most honorable people can be brought down by their own flaws.
