Hello! this is a question from the greek tragedy "antigone." why does haimon attack his father with a sword when they meet in the cavern? a. sorrow has driven haimon to kill himself. b. love has inspired haimon to protect antigone. c. pride has persuaded haimon that the king must die. d. grief has destroyed haimon's reason.,

Haimon's father, Creon, has sentenced Antigone to death for disobeying him and burying her brother. She is put in a cave with only one days food and there she hangs herself. Haimon loves Antigone and when he saw that she had committed suicide he is overcome with grief and so he ends up fighting with this father in the cavern, even though his father had gone to the cave to reprieve Antigone. So D is correct

I’m going to guess #4 since that seems pretty logical.
