I would have thought it was Antigone because she died for

I also saw Antigone as the tragic hero, but it made sense that Creon could have been as well after we discussed it in class.

I liked Hamlet the best. It was sort of hard to get a hang of the plot sometimes though! A Doll's House was great too!

True, Sophocles' play is kinda hard to understand. I still am not sure why Antigone killed herself like that, when she was such a strong-willed person.
