Try the following:
Anxious--he took over the throne, not because he was the heir, but because he was the last male relative. He may fear that the people don't see him as a powerful or righteous leader. Along with anxious, I might include fearful.
Stubborn, unyielding and self-serving: He won't change his decree until it affect him personally--when Teirsias says that Creon will suffer because of his decree.
Arrogant: Creon won't take anyone else's opinion into consideration and he doesn't feel he should have to listen to Haimon because he (Haimon) is younger.
Biased: Creon doesn't think he needs to listen to those younger than him. He also doesn't feel women are of much use or have much to contribute.
