Analyzing Scene 3

1. What is your first impression of Haimon? How does your view of him change as the scene progresses?
2. Summarize Creon's speech. What major point does Creon try to make with Haimon? How is it rebutted in Haimon's speech to his father?  Whose speech is best and why?  Explain the metaphor Haimon includes in his speech.
3. How do Creon's attitudes toward women seem to influence his decision?
4. Creon does suffer a loss somewhat in this scene.  Why do you think he decides not to kill Antigone but to take her to a vault instead?
