No, Antigone didn't die in vain. All it took was a visit with the blind prophet Teiresias to change the flow of events. From Teiresias, Theban King Creon learned of the citywide taint from the gorging of birds and dogs on the unburied dead of the Argive invaders and the Theban collaborators. The King repents of his inhumane, unfair and unjust law on non-burials, and of his likewise treatment of his own niece, Antigone.
Yes, Eurydice, the wife of Creon commits suicide in the play 'Antigone'.
Theban King Creon is mortal. So, yes, he does die. It just doesn't happen in the play 'Antigone'.
Yes, Haimon does die. He stabs himself after Antigone hangs herself. He is found in a pool of his own blood in Antigone's tomb.
That that never will happen is Haemon's response when Creon says he will see Antigone die in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon says that he will not stand by and see Princess Antigone killed. He promises that this is the last that Creon, his father and Antigone's intended father-in-law, will see of him. He then goes running out.
YES, she hung herself with her vail.
I pray the soldiers did not die in-vain.
To die in vain means that you died for a cause but your death did not change anything.

It's 'die in vain', meaning "to die needlessly"
Antigone's mother was Jocasta. Jocasta hung herself out of shame that she had married and had children by her own son, Oedipus, who was Antigone's father.
1. "Vain" is spelled vein 2. Yes

YES, she hung herself with her vail.
By hanging and by stabbing are the respective ways in which Antigone and her fiancé die in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is sentenced to die walled up in a remote cave. She chooses to hang herself with the halter of her own dress. When her fiancé Haemon comes to rescue her, he is so distraught at the suicide and over a failed attempt at killing his father that he stabs himself with his own sword.
That you lived and died for no purpose.
