Antigone quote and Significance

1) A son to death:
Murdered son, father murdering.
Son, my son, cut down dead!
New life that's disappeared. - Creon pg.248

2) Creon just found out his son Haemon was killed. He begins to realize that he murdered his son, he pushed him away, but telling him he was going to kill his wife. He regrets it now because his son is gone. He now knows his son is never coming and he will never see his face again just like Haemon told his father. Creon thinks it was a life that disappeared because he is the one that pushed him away, and made his life gone forever. Then when Creon's wife finds out she kills herself too. Creon is losing all his loved one's. For what? Becuase he wanted to kill someone who was trying to help her brother be buried peaceful.

3) Why would Creon push his son away if he cared for him so much?
