The element of tragedy that is most apparent in Creon's transformation from a proud and prosperous monarch in the beginning of the play to a defeated, lonely old man at the end of the play is peripeteia.

Following Aristotle's definition in his<em> Poetics</em>,<u><em> peripeteia</em></u><u> is a term used to refer to a reversal of fortune</u>.<u> It is the change from one state of things to its opposite</u>, which is generally negative. Moreover, <em>peripeteia</em> is one of the most effective elements of the plot of a tragedy. At the beginning of <em>Antigone,</em> <u>Creon has everything, but by the end of the play, he loses his wife and his son and he becomes a miserable man</u> due to his <em>hubris,</em> the character's tragic flaw, which is his pride<em>. </em>Therefore, he undergoes peripetia because his life is affected by an ironic twist that was not expected. In that way, Creon becomes the tragic character in the play.
