Creon refused to listen to the advice of others. Also, he was supposed to be governing as the gods themselves would, yet he is arrogant enough to order that Polyneices not be buried -- a violation of divine law. Third, he has a problem with his temper.

Not only did he fail as a king, but he failed as a father which in the play is looked upon as a much more important position. He loses touch with his son Haemon by killing his fiance, Antigone. Haemon loses his respect not only for his father, but for the idea of government and control. This leads to the downfall of all the characters.

Guessing which weaknesses lead another man to fail is not within my realm of feelings of necessity of time to waste in order to find instruction or lesson within its analysis or study, or as towards the gain in anything whatsoever as towards the truer knowledge of such a downfall in this Kings character, ability or position.
All Kings have their failures, so I do not care how many coins or lint he had in his pockets when he died. The people who may care about such, may either benefit from such knowledge only through the lacking of ability themselves, but definitely lacking in the knowledge held by a King, sadly.
Although feeling very philosophical, I wanted to add that Hillary, besides such great intellect, looks very, very good at the moment, and if you have either coins or lint in your pocket, you cannot disagree with this extremely strong fact.
Dare yourself this argument.
