Haemon

different people, and the most significant one is the second relationship. During that relationship she changed a lot because of her boyfriend, and when she found out that her boyfriend is cheating at her, she collapsed. In addition, in Antigone, Haemon, who always listen to his father choose to fight back and defend Antigone. the background of this slide is a photo of a crystal church that I took. It is a place where people promise each other their life and forming into a…

shown that Creon truly does care about his kingdom’s order over everything. This is shown by the way that he handles Antigone and tries to convince her to let go of her feelings and marry Haemon, he repeatedly tries to save Antigone from herself so that the kingdom can go on. In the end his attempts fail Antigone, Haemon, and Eurydice kill themselves, leaving Creon alone. While this is seen as a tragedy Antigone was the problem and Creon was just trying to maintain stability in his kingdom. I…

Having a lot of pride could be blinding, and it recurrently contributes to an otiose outcome. Individuals put pride into little things accordingly from their judgement for no reason, and get hung up on the values they feel they achieve from them. When these values are proven faulty, they lash out into a demise. Having too much pride can take over one’s mentality and overthink ideas that are meant to be kept simple. In situations like this, a person can be destructive and affect people surrounded…

soon as she faced a death that seemed impossible to avoid, she let go of her life. If she would have waited just a little longer, she would have been released by the very man who detained her. By staying alive, she would have also saved her fiance, Haemon. He, too, committed suicide once he saw Antigone dead. I was really sad when I read about Antigone giving up. Her life could have resumed some sort of normalcy if she would have waited. She might have even become Queen of Thebes, and…

hero. Antigone is the tragic hero because Creon never did anything heroic. Antigone is a tragic hero due to her nobility,bravery, and flaws. In the play of Antigone Antigone was very noble. Antigone was the daughter of Oedipus and the fiancé of Haemon, who was the son of Creon. She takes a noble cause when she goes against Creon and buries her brother. Her brother was considered an enemy to the kingdom, but she felt family came first. She wanted to take care of her loved ones even after…

born to die young and that’s her fate. Telling everything ahead of time makes the audience lose the element of surprise/life being loss. It makes the audience feel strong emotion toward Antigone from the start. The Chorus in Jean Anouilh's Antigone is very much different from Sophocles’ version. As said the chorus opens the play with a long explanation of background of the characters and the events of the play. In Sophocles’ Antigone, the audience would've known these details. Anouilh seems to…

paradoxically, the hero who is left in Tragedy at the end of the play is not the title role. Instead King Creon, the newly appointed and dictate ruler, is left alone, by himself with his wife's corpse in with him, having just seen the suicide of his son, Haemon and was the one to cause the royal bloodline to end. However, despite this pathetic fate for the character, his actions and behavior earlier in the play leave the final scene evoking more satisfaction than pity at his torment. The way the…

Tragic hero as defined by Aristotle is a character who makes a judgment error that inevitably leads to his/her own destruction. Antigone by Sophocles is a play about two people trapped in by society’s laws of time. Creon is trapped by the rules and laws of Thebes and his hubris is that many of these are of his own making. Antigone is trapped by her love for her deceased but traitorous brother Polyneices, a deep sense of justice and compassion, and her belief that the Gods would want her brother…

Man’s excessive pride can only lead to one thing, which is his downfall. It can make people blind to the truth. If we let pride get to the best of us, we won’t listen to others because we think that our opinion is the only right answer. Antigone and Haemon both showed hubris in Antigone. The negative impact of hubris was the present theme in Antigone by Sophocles. In the play Antigone, Creon shows hubris. When the Chorus is talking to Creon about his decision to not bury his nephew Creon…

In the story, “Antigone”, the king of Thebes does not have the best representation of how a king is supposed to rule. Creon is not the type of king many people would hope to have as their ruler. Although Creon is very prideful; his pride will soon catch up to him in the end. The unforgettable king of Thebes, Creon, is arrogant, self-centered, and he does not treat the people of his kingdom the way they should be treated. Creon shows many signs of prejudism throughout the story. As a ruler,…
