Haemon appears twice in the play 'Antigone'. In the first instance, he has a conversation with his father, Theban King Creon. The King says that his son won't be allowed to marry Antigone. Instead, Antigone is going to be punished for having disobeyed the law of non-burial of enemy Argive and Theban dead. In response, Haemon informs his father of the admiration of the people of Thebes for Antigone's defiance of the law. Specifically, Haemon says, 'For the dread of thy frown forbids the citizen to speak such words as would offend thine ear; but I can hear these murmurs in the dark, these moanings of the city for this maiden; 'no woman,' they say, 'ever merited her doom less - none ever, was to die so shamefully for deeds so glorious as hers' who, when her own brother had fallen in bloody strife, would not leave him unburied, to be devoured by carrion dogs, or by any bird: deserves not she the meed of golden honour?'

That the king must rule in the way that best protects the city's welfare but royal laws must not thwart divine will orTheban traditions is the public's opinion of the law in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, public opinion is expressed through the chorus, the chorus leader, ThebanPrince Haemonand Teiresias the blind prophet. All of them start from the people's perspective that King Creon holds their city together through trying times. But Creon actually foreshadows popular opposition by announcing at the beginning that behind his back he has enemies to his rule and critics of his law. The royal suspicion is not back up by rebellious acts other than Antigone's. But it is backed up by Haemon's and Teiresias' conversations and by the observations of the chorus and its leader.
Haemon goes from an apparently general support for his father's actions to undeniable opposition. Thus he starts out listing marriage as secondary to the guidance of Theban King Creon as father and sovereign. But he then qualifies the value of that guidance. He finds his father 'wise by nature' but insensitive to the input of his family and his subjects. He describes experience as the fine tuner of wisdom. For example, he characterizes his father as unmindful of the sufferings and preferences of Thebans whose dead aren't having their god given funerary rights respected. He calls Theban public opinion as admiringly supportive of Antigone, and fearfully opposed to Creon. And so he brings out in the open his opposition to the execution of his bride-to-be under the orders of her uncle, Creon.
No, the city does not agree with Creon's actions in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon allows Theban loyalists to be buried below ground but refuses that god-given right to his perceived enemies in the recent civil war over the royal succession. By his own admission, his edict of non-burial is not popular with Thebans. The complete lack of public agreement is repeated in comments by Princess Antigone, Prince Haemon and Teiresias the blind prophet.
In the play 'Antigone', Haemon tends to accept the authority of his father, Theban King Creon. In fact, he starts out saying, 'Father, I am thine; and thou, in thy wisdom, tracest for me rules which I shall follow. No marriage shall be deeemd by me a greater gain than thy good guidance'. But he counsels caution in the face of public opinion, and of genuine love for his first cousin and fiancee, Antigone. In fact, he responds to his father's question 'Am I to rule this land by other judgment than mine own?' with 'That is no city, which belongs to one man'. And of his fiancee, he says, 'No, not at my side - never think it - shall she perish' nor shalt thou ever set eyes more upon my face: - rave, then, with such friends as can endure thee'. As with Antigone, therefore, Haemon ultimately appears to believe in the authority of god-given justice and traditions by which Thebans live and die.
Death is what Creon looks for at the end of "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, disgraced Theban King Creon characterizes himself as the source of all private and public woes. He considers himself responsible for the deaths of his last surviving child, Prince Haemon, and of his wife, Queen Eurydice. He is left all alone, without anyone or anything that gives his life meaning. He looks forward to death.

The paradox of public opinion regarding Congress is that people generally disapprove of Congress as a whole, yet tend to re-elect their individual representatives. This demonstrates a disconnect between the perception of the institution and of individual lawmakers.
