Creon acts according to the law, not the conscience of advisors, and is punished.

It was resolved when Antigone kills herself thus allowing Creon to do his duties as king and finally settled the issue. The price Creon paid was heavy because even though he was still king, the process, he lost everyone who was dear to him.
