Which event occurs first? Haemon’s death Antigone’s death Eurydice’s death Haemon’s attempt to stab Creon
Answers
Antigone’s death occurs first in the play.
Antigone buried Polynieces as she wanted that the family should do the burial rights after the death. Creon didn't want Polynices' body to go through the privilege of burial because he considered Polynices as a traitor. Creon is the king of Thebes who is arrogant and who never turns back. Also, he is obsessed with the civil laws and cannot bear anyone disobeying it. Antigone was kept in the trial where she hanged herself before the arrival of Creon who was on his way to set her free. Antigone's death was the first death in the play. The other deaths preceded her death.
The first statement would be Antigones’s death.
The correct answer is B. antigone's death.
It would be the most perfect answer as after antigone's death Haemon attempts to stab Creon.
After that, Haemon kills himself.
Eurydice finds it out and commits suicide. Creon lives the miserable life at the end.
