It is Hades whom Antigone belies that she will marry in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is engaged to Prince Haemon, her first cousin and the sole surviving child of Theban monarchs Creon and Eurydice. But she loses all rights to personal happiness when she becomes a convicted criminal on death row. She processes to the death that she considers the pathway to eternal marriage to the already married Lord of the Underworld of the afterlife.

Whom is Antigone supposed to marry in 'Antigone'?

Haemon is the person whom Antigone is supposed to marry in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is engaged to marry her first cousin, Prince Haemon. Haemon is the only surviving child and heir of his parents, King Creon and Queen Eurydice. His father is Antigone's uncle.Haemon is the person that Antigone is supposed to marry. They're engaged, and in love. They're cousins, because Haemon's father is the brother of Antigone's now dead mother, Theban Queen Jocasta.But Haemon's father also is King of Thebes. As the royal ruler, Theban King Creon makes and enforces laws. One such law is non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. It's a law that Antigone breaks, for her brother Polyneices. And Creon isn't a king to make exceptions. He calls for the death sentence even though Antigone is his niece and his future daughter-in-law. That ends any marriage plans for Antigone and Haemon.

To whom is Antigone engaged in 'Antigone'?

Haemon is the person to whom Antigone is engaged in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is the daughter of disgraced former Theban King Oedipus.

That they are both Theban born and bred and that burial therefore is their god-given right is the reason why Antigone believes that both of her brothers need to be buried in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the gods guarantee to all Thebans the right to below-ground burials and proper funeral rites. Theban King Creon denies these rights to his nephew Polyneices, whom he considers a traitor for asserting his legitimate royal claim, at the same time that he approves them for his nephew Eteocles, whom he considers a Theban loyalist. Princess Antigone decides that there is blasphemous and unreasonable to buck divine law.

Whom does the chorus blame for Antigone's trouble in 'Antigone'?

Antigone is the person whom the chorus blames for her trouble in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus blames Theban Princess Antigone's stubbornly passionate contrariness in showing no respect to King Creon in terms of his laws and in terms of his person as her uncle, sovereign and intended father-in-law.

The chorus also concedes that Antigone's personality is hardened by her family's uphill struggle against multiplying, relentless divine curses against the Theban royal house.
