Anger in terms of how he feels and treason in terms of what he does are Haemon's flaws in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon is young and understandably angry with his father, King Creon, over the arrest and capital punishment of Antigone, his first cousin and bride-to-be. He nevertheless holds his own in defending Antigone and trying to get her released until his father's self-glorification and disparaging comments wear away at the last vestiges of self-control. Haemon's anger is so intensified by Antigone's subsequent suicide that he tries to kill Creon. This botched assassination attempt is not only considered treason among mortals but also a serious offense among the gods. When he fails, the ever angry Haemon therefore kills himself.
The arrogance that leads him to believe that he can disrespect and kill his father is Haemon's flaw in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, arrogance describes an exaggerated sense of self, pride. Theban Prince Haemon is arrogant when he takes advantage of being King Creon's son by contradicting his father and making threats. He also is arrogant when he uses his position to make an attempt on his own father's life. It is supremely offensive to the gods to disrespect one's father and sovereign. Haemon knows this and quickly and successfully turns the sword on himself.
The flaw in Antigone that the chorus pointed out to her in Scene 4, line 45 was her lack of respect for human laws. This flaw would lead to her death, and the chorus blamed Antigone for her own demise.
Her rashness, and loyalty
Burying her brother Polyneices was a tragic flaw for Antigone. The burial was a flaw, because it disobeyed the recent decree by Theban King Creon about the non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. The flaw was tragic, because it resulted in Antigone's death. Violation of the law was punishable by a capital sentence. Antigone was walled up in a dark, remote cave. Soon afterwards, she committed suicide by hanging herself with her halter.
Why didn't Antigone want ismene to share her death
Her prideful, uncompromising, unyielding passion is Antigone's flaw in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the consequences of Antigone's passionate outbursts are hasty speech and actions. In fact, Antigone's personality is described as verbally foolish and emotionally frenzied. Even to the end, she does not budge from her proud, stubborn emotional recklessness. The chorus aptly describes Her as the passionate daughter of a passionate father, neither of whom capable of flexibility or change.

NO he does not. Haemon was in love with her, in fact she was his fiancee (yeah they were cousins) who ultimately murders her is Haemons dad, who orders her into a cave until she dies. When haemon see's that antigone hung herself he puts his sword on the floor and falls onto it. killing himself D:
That the penalty is death for the crime that she breaksis the reason why Antigone's flaw leads to her demise in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone chooses to break the law of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. She carries out her crime in broad daylight. She insults her uncle King Creon who issues the law and determines the punishment.

Family, the gods, and Theban traditions are Antigone's beliefs in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone believes in the importance of family. She evidences her belief in her commitment to getting her brother Polyneices buried. That commitment also is part of her belief in the importance of the gods and of Theban traditions. She says that the gods rule in the here and now as well as in the Underworld of the afterlife.
It is not a person. Hamartia, from the Greek for "error," is an error or flaw that contributes to the downfall of a tragic hero
Antigone's flaw with her sister Ismene is her pride. She believes that her choice of action is correct, that their brother Polyneices must be buried in accordance with god-given traditions and in violation of recent manmade laws. She doesn't listen to her sister's well thought-out reasons against civil disobedience.
Antigone herself is not the tragic hero of Antigone. The tragic hero of Antigone is Creon. Creon is a well-intentioned king, that comes from royal blood, but he brings his death upon himself with his tragic flaw. His flaw was that he paid more attention to the laws of man and easily forgot about the power of the gods. After everyone that he loves dies, Antigone (his niece), Haimon (his son), and Eurydice (his wife), he becomes a better person and changes his views. However, it is too late for Creon by the end of the tragedy, and he is too weighed-down by his own guilt. He chooses to die.
Antigone's fatal flaw in the play "Antigone" is her excessive pride and defiance against authority. This leads her to disobey the law and bury her brother against the King's orders, ultimately causing her tragic downfall. Her stubbornness and unwavering devotion to her values result in her tragic end.
