which aspect is important to consider when writing dialogue? A the characters should speak grammatically correct sentences. B th
dsp73

I think that the answer would probably be C, because often if it is like a teen or something they will not use grammatical correct sentences, the character does not always need to speak in short sentences, and the if the character is mad they probably will not speak politely. But I am not 100% sorry

14. Whom was Antigone meant to marry?
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

(B)

Explanation:

Haemon is the person whom Antigone is supposed to marry in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is engaged to marry her first cousin, Prince Haemon. Haemon is the only surviving child and heir of his parents, King Creon and Queen Eurydice. His father is Antigone's uncle.

Haemon is the person that Antigone is supposed to marry. They're engaged, and in love. They're cousins, because Haemon's father is the brother of Antigone's now dead mother, Theban Queen Jocasta.

But Haemon's father also is King of Thebes. As the royal ruler, Theban King Creon makes and enforces laws. One such law is non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. It's a law that Antigone breaks, for her brother Polyneices. And Creon isn't a king to make exceptions. He calls for the death sentence even though

Antigone is his niece and his future daughter-in-law. That ends any marriage plans for Antigone and Haemon.
