That he wants his father to change his mind about Antigone is the reason why Haemon says not to be unchangeable in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon is engaged to his beloved first cousin, Princess Antigone. Antigone is sentenced to die by her own uncle, King Creon. Haemon loves his bride-to-be. He makes an effort to get his father to annul the edict of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead and to pardon Antigone for breaking that edict in burying her brother Polyneices.
Theban King Creon was the brother of Queen Jocasta. He was the father of Haemon. Jocasta was the mother of Antigone. So Creon was Antigone's uncle, and Jocasta Haemon's aunt. That made the betrothed couple Antigone and Haemon first cousins.
Great is supposed to be the love between Antigone and Haemon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.). Specifically, Theban Princess Ismene claims that her sister Antigone and Prince Haemon share a great love. Antigone and her first cousin commit to marriage through a betrothal that is in effect before the play begins. Haemon speaks volumes about Antigone, who never mentions her betrothed.
Yes.
Angrily, insensitively and insultingly is the way in which Creon reacts to Haemon defending Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon is first cousin and husband-to-be of Princess Antigone. Haemon's father, King Creon, issues a law that Antigone breaks and for which the sentence is death. Haemon loves Antigone and unsuccessful tries to save her. It is a lost cause since Creon thinks one woman is like any other and therefore completely replaceable.
Love is what what Haemon symbolizes in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon is engaged to marry his first cousin, Princess Antigone. No one knows what Antigone thinks of her husband-to-be since she never mentions him. But everyone knows what Haemon thinks since he defends Antigone against his daunting father, King Creon. Additionally, Haemon takes his life after finding Antigone hanging dead from the halter of her own dress.
Creon is Haemon's father and Antigone is Haemon's forbideddn love.

That it becomes a question of what the betrothed couple will do is a complication of Haemon being engaged to Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess does not act as though she has anyone's welfare to care about other than herself and dead family members. Her sister, Princess Ismene, insists that Antigone and Haemon are very much in love. But Antigone never mentions Haemon.
First cousins and spouses-to-be is the relationship between Haemon and Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Princess Antigone is the daughter of disgraced Theban monarchs Oedipus and Jocasta. Prince Haemon is Queen Jocasta's nephew. King Creon, Haemon's father and Antigone's uncle, is Jocasta's brother. That makes the young engaged couple first cousins to each other.
That Antigone, Eurydice and Haemon are deadis what the messenger says in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the first messenger announces the suicides of Theban Princess Antigone and Prince Haemon at a cave outside Thebes. Haemon's body is brought down from the cave. The second messenger then makes the announcement of the suicide of Queen Eurydice, Haemon's mother and Antigone's aunt.
