“Here comes Haemon, your only living son.” says the Chorus Leader. (710-711) Haemon is saying that he is giving his all to his father Creon, and that he would never fail him or do him any ill will.

Leaving him miserable and wanting to join the others in a tragic death. (All three characters died by their own
