- Haemon explains how Antigone would make a good wife but Creon is too upset about his son disagreeing with him to listen.
- Shameless, at open feud with thy father!
- O dastard nature, yielding place to woman!
- Do I offend, when I respect mine own prerogatives?
- Nay, I see thee offending against justice.
- Thou dost not respect them, when thou tramples on the gods' honors,
- Thou wilt never find me yield to baseness.
- Creon finally listens and realizes Haemon is in love and tells him he needs to have more loyalty to his father and his laws.
- All thy words, at least, plead for that girl.
- Thou canst never marry her, on this side the grave.
- And for thee, and for me, and for the gods below.
- Then she must die, and in death destroy another
- Haemon next says that if Antigone were to perish he would kill himself as well because there is no life in this world without her.
- How! doth thy boldness run to open threats?
- Thou shalt rue thy witless teaching of wisdom
- What threat is it, to combat vain resolves?
- Wert thou not my father, I would have called thee unwise.
