Answer:
Creon.
Explanation:
A protagonist is a main character or actor. Creon matches this definition since, not only do his acts set the stage for the entire tragedy, but his character grows and teaches the readers valuable lessons. When all of Creon's attributes are considered, it is safe to say that Creon is the protagonist in this drama. Not to mention, if Creon had not decided not to give Polyneices a decent burial, the entire tragedy would not have transpired. There would be no penalties since the gods would be content. In other words, Creon's activities contributed to this tragedy. Creon not only sets the tone for the play, but he also has the ability to make crucial decisions, earning him the label of a prominent character.
