The answer you are searching for is:
Creon is Antigone's uncle in the play Antigone and is ultimately responsible for her death. Antigone is the daughter of Oedipus, whose sin of accidentally having sex with his mother is arguable responsible for the curse that appears to plague his descendants. Creon is Oedipus's brother, and is currently the king of Thebes; he is committed to maintaining the peace in his kingdom. Just prior to Creon's rule, Antigone's brothers, Eteocles and Polynices, had engaged in a bloody battle for control of Thebes. When both brothers died and Creon assumed power, Creon decreed that only Eteocles would receive a burial; Polynices would be left to rot.
Antigone disobeyed her uncle and insisted upon burying Polynices anyway. Creon did everything he could to dissuade her, but ultimately could not convince her to give up her quest to bury her brother. The central point of the play is that Antigone believes in doing what she knows to be right, whereas Creon believes in doing what is necessary to maintain the peace in Thebes. Because Creon is committed to this goal, Antigone ultimately dies, making Creon ultimately the villain of the play.

I really don't know if my answer is going to help you but . . .
“Pretense” is a noun, and another form of the verb “pretend”. It is synonymous with “guise” “an act”, and can also refer to “a claim”, furthering its similarity to “pretend”. Pretense is the American spelling of the word, while pretence, with a “c”, is the British spelling. Here are some examples:
“He was hiding his anger under the pretense that everything was fine”
“She was not even making any pretence of hiding”
That is how you put "pretense" in a sentence . . . . . .
hope this helps even tho I do not think this is the answer
