In the story of Antigone, two very headstrong people's beliefs are matched up against
             each other. Creon, the king, made it law that no traitor to the Kingdom shall have a proper
             burial, instead they will be left laying on the ground to rot and to be eaten by the animals. This
             was the case of Antigone's brother, Polyneices. Antigone's love for her brother was so great that
             she went against the law, eventhough she knew Creon's punishment for breaking the law was
             public stoning, which ultimately resulted in death. Creon, who had an equal amount of
             determination, refused to back down from his law for his own reasons even after Antigone
             ignored it. He could not submit himself to the will of a woman. At that time, women were looked

             on his father. He was outraged that Creon had taken away his future wife, in which he was very
             much in love with. He was so outraged, that he would even break the unique and special bond
             between father and son. Haemon felt incomplete without Antigone and could not stand being
             apart from her. He found away to solve his problem and get revenge on his father at the same
             time. He had taken his own life and at the same time killed the future of the ...
