Instructions: select the correct text in the passage. in antigone, haemon emerges as a defender of the citizens' cause in the face of his father’s tyranny. which lines in this excerpt from the play reflect haemon’s respect for the theban citizens’ opinions? haemon: and, as thy son, it falls to me to mark the acts, the words, the comments of the crowd. the commons stand in terror of thy frown, and dare not utter aught that might offend, but i can overhear their muttered plaints, know how the people mourn this maiden doomed for noblest deeds to die the worst of deaths. o father, nothing is by me more prized than thy well-being, for what higher good can children covet than their sire's fair fame, as fathers too take pride in glorious sons? for whoso thinks that wisdom dwells with him, that he alone can speak or think aright, such oracles are empty breath when tried. see how the trees beside a stream in flood save, if they yield to force, each spray unharmed, but by resisting perish root and branch. the mariner who keeps his mainsheet taut, and will not slacken in the gale, is like to sail with thwarts reversed, keel uppermost. relent then and repent thee of thy wrath; for, if one young in years may claim some sense, i'll say 'tis best of all to be endowed with absolute wisdom; but, if that's denied, (and nature takes not readily that ply) next wise is he who lists to sage advice.
