What if my room mate decides to break his half of a year lease responsibility. Can the landlord make me pay the full amount?

Read your lease.
It should say explicitly what happens in this case.
All the leases I write for tenants explain that they are each individually responsible for the whole amount.
I explain verbally at signing time that this means if one tenant can't or won't pay, I can and will go after the other(s) to pay the whole thing.
If, by some miracle, the lease says each tenant is responsible for half the rent, then you may be off the hook but the landlord may evict anyone but not go after you for the money.
Talk to your landlord.
Explain what is happening.
Ask if you can get a new roommate.
The landlord just wants everything to go smoothly so he can pay his mortgage.
He will be motivated to see you solve this problem.
If you're stuck, you may be able to negotiate an exit where you don't have to pay it all, who knows.

As soon as a lease is signed - whether or not money has exchanged hands - a legal obligation has been formed. If the landlord decides that he or she does not want you to move in, they may break the lease, but they will open themselves up to a lawsuit.

Why is Antigone not ashamed when she has to go before Creon in 'Antigone'?
That this is exactly according to plan and that she accepts responsibility for her act the moment that she decides to carry it out is the reason why Antigone is not ashamed when she has to go before Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone decides that she will break her uncle King Creon's law. She knows that her civil disobedience carries a death sentence. She takes responsibility for her act and its punishment.
