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
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,
long can speak or think aright.
