What are the points of view of the characters?
According to Antigone's point of view, her brother Polyneices should be buried. According to her uncle, Theban King Creon, his nephew Polyneices shouldn't be buried.

According to Ismene, sister to Antigone and niece to the King, it generally is a good idea to bury her brother Polyneices.

According to Teiresias the blind prophet, the King will be brought to ruin if he continues to be a despot.
Whose side does the Choragos take in Scene 2 of 'Antigone'?
Scene 2 of 'Antigone' is devoted to the conversation between Haemon and his father, Theban King Creon. The Chorus Leader, who's called 'Choragos', doesn't side with anyone. Instead, throughout the father and son interaction, the Leader rephrases the good points that each one makes. He progresses from a conviction that Creon speaks wisely to doubt as to whether there's wisdom in Creon's words. He likewise progresses from a conviction that Haemon speaks wisely to surprise over the son's anger against his own father and his own king. The closest that the Leader gets to taking a side is at the very end of the scene. The King clearly says that Haemon won't be able to save either of his first cousins, Antigone and Ismene, from death. But the Leader goes ahead and asks if the King really intends to put both of his nieces to death. The King then backs down and specifies that Antigone, as the perpetrator of the offense against the state, will be executed, but Ismene won't.

In whom does Haimon believe authority lies?
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.
