Is the grammatically a correct sentence?

Question

Creon understands that his foolishness “leads” (Creon pg.1060) him to loose something most important than the laws he autonomously created, his family, and how arrogant pride foreshadows his life towards a course of forsaken sorrow.

I suppose it's okay grammatically.
There are a couple of words which are probably ill-advised.
To "loose" something is to unleash it - let it loose. You probably mean "lose." That is, to lose his family.
"His family" is in apposition to "something." Personally, I'd set it off with dashes instead of commas.
I'm not sure what "forsaken sorrow is." If his life is on a bad course, he'd probably be glad to forsake (forget about) the sorrow!
He understands two things: (1) where his foolishness leads him, and (2) what pride does. The main verb (understands) is a long way from (2), and it would be better to use a parallel "that" instead of "how." He understands that (1) and that (2).
I'm not sure if "foreshadows" here means "predicts" or "obscures." If you're the author, I'd suggest checking some of these meanings.
