Answer 1

Creon is the antagonist in the play Antigone because "he stands between the protagonist and her goal." Creon is the force that Antigone goes up against. He is the kind of antagonist that really stupid and is not well-liked. He treats Antigone badly.

Answer 2

The correct answer is - He stands between the protagonist and her goal.

Creon is not your typical antagonist - he isn't actually a villain, he is not evil. The only thing he does is not allow Antigone to have what she wants. She wants to give her deceased brother a proper burial, but Creon is against that because the brother was a traitor. This is why he forbids her from doing that and this causes various tragedies in the play.
