Antigone by Sophocles: Scene 3, Ode 3

Question 8 • SS - TX-English II B

Haemon’s argument that Creon’s choice to kill Antigone will result in Creon’s never seeing Antigone again is an example of __________.

Answer
A
ethos
B
logos
C
pathos
D
harmatia

Explanation

Haemon emphasizes the painful emotional consequence of Creon’s decision: if Antigone is killed, Creon will never see her again. An appeal meant to stir feelings such as grief or regret is pathos. This is not ethos, which relies on credibility, or logos, which relies mainly on evidence and reasoning.
