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.
