Romeo and Juliet's tragedy is greater than Antigone and Haemon's tragedy. This is because Antigone and Haemon's tragedy was fated by the gods. Romeo and Juliet's tragedy was the result of their and their families actions and could have been avoided.

How do you compare the tragedies of Antigone and Haemon in 'Antigone' and of 'Romeo and Juliet'?
That they commit suicide because of family opposition to their love is a comparison of the tragedies of Antigone and Haemon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) and of "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare (Baptized April 26, 1564 - April 23, 1616).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone and Prince Haemon respectively commit suicide for unspecified reasons and in loving despair. Antigone does not get to marry her first cousin Haemon because she is sentenced to death by her uncle, King Creon, who dislikes her. In contrast, Romeo kills himself because he believes Juliet dead, and then Juliet commits suicide because she finds Romeo really dead. The couple is married even though their families object.
