once again thinking about haemon
#he's ismene he's antigone he's his mother he's his father's child and he spits on that old man's face.
#choose me and leave your brother antigone im the only one who's ever died for you. and antigone cant leave them just as he cant leave her
#he's a crucial part of the dying-for game. polynices and eteocles die for each other. antigone dies for polynices. haemon dies for antigone
#(and of course eurydice dies for haemon.)
#he takes on what should be ismene's rightful role in the narrative (the last one standing killing herself for the unjustly killed)
#but because ismene is cursed to live he must die against his father's commands and he does so happily.
#he recontextualizes the whole thing. the beloved now dies for his love it's no longer the brother dying for his blood.
#and of course this was a story about the deadly fate of love all along. they're oedipus's children they had no chance at normality.
#and haemon steps into the narrative reneges the father keeping him from the family death chain and goes to join his cousins in death-for.
#antigone
#im so normal about him. im biting him and shaking him around
