The conclusion of the play was very well played out. I do believe all the deaths were necessary. The deaths helped to make to play more interesting and dramatic. The deaths did help to make the play very dramatic however i do not feel that the play was overly dramatic. When the deaths occurred the author wrote it so the reader could picture the image in their mind. For example when Antigone died he described it by Antigone hanging herself with her vial, you could picture the red blood on the vial. The deaths just made the play more interesting and everyone died for a reason, no death was uncalled for. Creon deserved to feel the way he did, at the end of the play. Creon was dealing with many different feelings, such as regret, sympathy,  and most of all grief. While Creon lived on, he had to deal with the lose of everyone around him. His own son and Antigone were two of the people who died. Creon deserved to live and have to deal with the grief of all the misery he had caused everyone else. They ended up loosing their lives but i feel it was for the better that Creon had to live with the pain and misery he caused everyone else over the years.
