Question

Which summary correctly describes the second half of Antigone?

Answer 1

It should be B, "Haemon tries to convince his father to think about his citizens and what they want and to realize his arrogance and folly..... finally realizes his hubris, and repents."

Answer 2

It's B

Haemon tries to convince his father to think about his citizens and what they want and to realize his arrogance and folly. However, Creon dismisses him and decrees that instead of sentencing Antigone to death, he will entomb her. Antigone puts up a brave face before being entombed. The prophet Teiresias warns Creon of his folly, only to be rebuked. Later, when Creon goes to free Antigone, he finds out that she has killed herself, and he witnesses Haemon stabbing himself. This news reaches Queen Eurydice, who also stabs herself in a fit of grief. Creon returns to the palace childless and wifeless, finally realizes his hubris, and repents.
