In Antigone, Haemon emerges as a defender of the citizens' cause in the face of his father’s tyranny. Which lines in this excerp

t from the play reflect Haemon’s respect for the Theban citizens’ opinions?
HAEMON:
And, as thy son, it falls to me to mark
The acts, the words, the comments of the crowd.
The commons stand in terror of thy frown,
And dare not utter aught that might offend,
But I can overhear their muttered plaints,
Know how the people mourn this maiden doomed
For noblest deeds to die the worst of deaths.
O father, nothing is by me more prized
Than thy well-being, for what higher good
Can children covet than their sire's fair fame,
As fathers too take pride in glorious sons?
For whoso thinks that wisdom dwells with him,
That he alone can speak or think aright,
Such oracles are empty breath when tried.

See how the trees beside a stream in flood
Save, if they yield to force, each spray unharmed,
But by resisting perish root and branch.
The mariner who keeps his mainsheet taut,
And will not slacken in the gale, is like
To sail with thwarts reversed, keel uppermost.

Relent then and repent thee of thy wrath;
For, if one young in years may claim some sense,
I'll say 'tis best of all to be endowed
With absolute wisdom; but, if that's denied,
(And nature takes not readily that ply)
Next wise is he who lists to sage advice.

What is fallacy of oversimplification
OverLord2011 [107]

<em>Fallacy of oversimplification is also known as Fallacy of Reduction or "Reductive fallacy". </em>

<em>This fallacy is a type of faulty reasoning that involves a faulty causation, it is either about the reduction of a certain effect to a minimum of causes or reducing a complex array of causes to a single one, that cannot take account for all the effects of it or for it at all. </em>

<em>Example: “P1. Poverty is linked to causes of crime.</em>

<em>C. Therefore, if we eradicate poverty, we will eradicate crime.”</em>
