Question

Why would Haemon, in particular, be so conflicted about the disagreement between Antigone and Creon?

Answer 1

Answer:

Creon was his father and Antigone was engaged to him. He was in support of Antigone not his father

Explanation:

Haeman was engaged to Antigone. Antigone had lost her brothers and had gone ahead to bury. By this act she had gone against the laws of the king Creon. He decided to punish her by death.

Haemans conflict start first with fact that Creon is his father while Antigone is engaged to him. He wanted his father to leave Antigone to go but Creon did not want that to avoid appearing as a weak king. This brought a conflict seeing that haeman supported Antigone. Creon hated the fact he was not being respected by his son
