Both are right and both are wrong. Antigone was acting on behalf of her heart, and Creon was acting on behalf of his mind. Both are characters that are torn between doing what their conscience would have them do and what is expected of them. In the end, one has to believe that Antigone was the worst wronged in all of this as Creon, at the end goes to release her from her punishment, only to find that she has killed herself.
