Do you think Creon should have changed his decision regarding Antigone? Why or why not?

This question is entirely subjective, so one could argue either side.  However, one could argue that Creon should have changed his opinion regarding sentencing Antigone to death for burying Polynices.  A respected king listens to the wisdom of others and honors the wishes of his people, but Creon does not opt to do that when making his decision.  As a new king, he believes that he will appear weak in front of the people of Thebes if he goes back on his order to put to death the one who broke the law to bury a traitor.  Even when his son Haemon appeals to him to listen to the better judgement of the people, Creon remains stubborn.  His insecurity leads to his downfall in the end, causing him to lose those whom he most loves.  So, if Creon were to have changed his opinion about putting Antigone to death, his own losses could have been prevented.
