No, the city does not agree with Creon's actions according to Haemon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Creon passes a non-burial edict that contradicts divine law, denies his perceived enemy dead belowl-ground burials, and sentences to death Princess Antigone, his niece and intended daughter-in-law, when she tries to bury her brother Polyneices. Prince Haemon, Creon's son and Antigone's groom-to-be, says that Thebans hate Creon for the edict and the non-burials and greatly admire the courage of Antigone's convictions and actions in the face of a cruel bully.

What action does Creon take as a result of heamon visit?

As a result of Haemon's visit, Creon initially stands firm in his decision to execute Antigone for defying his edict. However, Haemon's passionate plea for reason and compassion prompts Creon to reconsider his stance, revealing a more conflicted and vulnerable side. Ultimately, he reluctantly agrees to delay Antigone's punishment, though his pride and authority still heavily influence his decisions. This moment highlights the tension between familial loyalty and rigid adherence to law.


Does the chorus leader agree with Creon's final statement in 'Antigone'?

Yes, the chorus agrees with Creon's final statement in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, disgraced Theban King Creon accepts blame for the deaths of his son Prince Haemon and his wife Queen Eurydice.

Why does Antigone not view herself as a traitor in 'Antigone'?

That she agrees with the gods that once a Thebanalways a Theban is why Antigone does not view herself as a traitor in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone believes in her city, her family and her gods. She therefore does not fixate on what side a Theban is on in the first civil war over the Theban royal succession. She is just glad that the conflict is over and wants both the disloyal and loyal Theban dead to have their god-given rights as Thebans respected for below ground burials. But that is not the way that her vindictive uncle, King Creon, sees things.


How do words lead to actions in romeo and Juliet?

Insofar as any of the characters discuss things before they do them, words lead to actions. For example, Paris and Capulet talk about the possibility of marriage between Paris and Juliet. Capulet eventually agrees. It has all been talk so far. Then Juliet says she'd rather not marry Paris. At this point the talk leads to actions, namely Capulet getting violent with Juliet.
