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.
