Question 2 • SS - TX-English II B

Which event occurs at the climax of the play?

Answer
A
Haemon attempts to persuade Creon to free Antigone.
B
Creon changes his mind and decides to bury Polyneices and to free Antigone.
C
Antigone is lead away to the tomb.
D
Antigone is arrested.

Explanation

The climax is the turning point when Creon finally changes his decision and orders Polyneices buried and Antigone freed. This reversal comes after Tiresias warns him of the consequences, but Creon acts too late to prevent the tragedy. Haemon’s attempt to persuade Creon and Antigone’s arrest occur earlier in the play.
