The choragus typically serves as a mediator and voice of reason in Greek tragedies. In responding to Creon and Haemon's arguments, the choragus often acknowledges the validity of both sides, highlighting Creon's authority and the importance of law, while also recognizing Haemon's passionate plea for compassion and the need for balance between governance and human emotion. Ultimately, the choragus may advocate for a middle ground, suggesting that wisdom lies in finding harmony between rigid authority and the voices of the people.

Haemon's view of government emphasizes the importance of adaptability, reason, and the voices of the people, advocating for a more flexible approach to leadership. In contrast, Creon embodies a rigid, authoritarian stance, prioritizing law and order above all else and insisting on absolute obedience to his decrees. While Haemon believes in the need for dialogue and compromise, Creon remains inflexible, viewing dissent as a threat to his authority. This fundamental clash highlights the tension between tyranny and a more democratic, compassionate governance.
