Answer:

A.SECOND MESSENGER:

Thy [Creon’s] wife, the mother of thy dead son here,

Lies stricken by a fresh inflicted blow.

Creon is one of the main characters in the play Antigone. Completely (and reluctantly) dedicated to the state, Creon ends up being harmed by Antigone's insistence on doing what she believes is right. In this excerpt, we see that Creon has now lost his family, as his wife and son have died. This shows that Creon has had a change in fortune, or peripeteia.
