Whether or not Antigone will break the law, whether or not she will be caught and punished, what Haemon will do and whether or not Creon will be too late to reverse his actions are the suspenseful moments in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, suspenseful moments are times during which the audience is anxious or uncertain as to the outcome of critical events. The audience anticipates but actually does not know whether or not Theban Princess will break the law and be punished. Additionally, the audience expects that Prince Haemon, who so passionately loves Antigone, his first cousin and bride-to-be, will not just stand by and let her be executed. Finally, the audience suspects that King Creon will have to back down with such universal opposition to his personality and style of ruling.
