It is in moving from getting Antigone released to joining her that Haemon changes his mind in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon meets with his father King Creon. He seeks a pardon for Antigone, his first cousin and bride-to-be. But he switches to leaving and joining her on death row in the face of his father's stubborn refusal to reverse his non-burial edict and its capital punishment.
Change his mind in the first interaction and kill him in the second are what Haemon tries to do to Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon has two interactions with his father, King Creon. In the first, he makes an effort to get Creon to change his stubborn mind about non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead and about the death sentence for Princess Antigone, Haemon's betrothed and Creon's niece. In the second, Haemon tries to run his sword through Creon, whom he blames for Antigone's suicide.
That he wants his father to change his mind about Antigone is the reason why Haemon says not to be unchangeable in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon is engaged to his beloved first cousin, Princess Antigone. Antigone is sentenced to die by her own uncle, King Creon. Haemon loves his bride-to-be. He makes an effort to get his father to annul the edict of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead and to pardon Antigone for breaking that edict in burying her brother Polyneices.
That Antigone's death will bring about another'sdeath and that father and son never will see each other again are the threats made by Haemon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon says that Princess Antigone will be executed. Prince Haemon, Antigone's betrothed, makes an effort to get Creon to change his mind. Creon does not understand that Haemon is foreshadowing his own death in saying that someone will die as a result of Antigone's death and that he never plans to be in his father's company ever again.
The prevention of three deaths is the effect if Creon changes his mind earlier in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon does not change his mind about his non-burial edict until after meeting with his son Prince Haemon, then Teiresias the blind prophet and finally the chorus leader. Between the first two meetings, Princess Antigone is escorted to her live burial in a cave outside Thebes. A change in mind at that point or between the second and third meetings may have prevented the suicides in quick succession of Antigone, Haemon and Haemon's mother Queen Eurydice.
Theban King Creon was the brother of Queen Jocasta. He was the father of Haemon. Jocasta was the mother of Antigone. So Creon was Antigone's uncle, and Jocasta Haemon's aunt. That made the betrothed couple Antigone and Haemon first cousins.

Creon is Haemon's father and Antigone is Haemon's forbideddn love.

Haemon and Creon are both characters in Antigone by Sophocles. Haemon visits his father, Creon, to tell him not to kill Antigone.
Haemon is Antigone's love in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is engaged to her first cousin, Prince Haemon. She never makes any reference to him by name. In contrast, Haemon speaks constantly about his betrothed. Additionally, Princess Ismene, Antigone's sister, talks of the great love that Antigone has for Haemon and vice versa.
Great is supposed to be the love between Antigone and Haemon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.). Specifically, Theban Princess Ismene claims that her sister Antigone and Prince Haemon share a great love. Antigone and her first cousin commit to marriage through a betrothal that is in effect before the play begins. Haemon speaks volumes about Antigone, who never mentions her betrothed.
Yes.
Angrily, insensitively and insultingly is the way in which Creon reacts to Haemon defending Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon is first cousin and husband-to-be of Princess Antigone. Haemon's father, King Creon, issues a law that Antigone breaks and for which the sentence is death. Haemon loves Antigone and unsuccessful tries to save her. It is a lost cause since Creon thinks one woman is like any other and therefore completely replaceable.
Love is what what Haemon symbolizes in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon is engaged to marry his first cousin, Princess Antigone. No one knows what Antigone thinks of her husband-to-be since she never mentions him. But everyone knows what Haemon thinks since he defends Antigone against his daunting father, King Creon. Additionally, Haemon takes his life after finding Antigone hanging dead from the halter of her own dress.
