Answer:

The correct answer is that Grief has destroyed Haimon's reason.

Step-by-step explanation:

After discovering the lifeless body of his fiancée Antigone, Haimon is consumed by grief and attacks his father. Emotionally distraught, he fails to strike his father and mortally wounds himself. Before dying, he embraces the dead body of his loved one.
