Answer:

The element of tragedy that is most apparent in Creon’s transformation is Hubris

Step-by-step explanation:

Hubris is a literary device that shows extreme pride or arrogance in a character to the point that these characteristics make them follow the steps to their downfall. The change of Creon going from proud and prosperous monarch at the beginning of the play to a defeated, lonely old man at the end of the play shows the process of downfall.
