Make an argument for who you think has the stronger argument (Creon or Haimon) for his beliefs about Antigone’s actions. *(((Rhetoric – The art of using words effectively in speaking or writing.)))

ESSAY BODY MUST HAVE: - At least three arguments between Haimon and Creon, with line references. - A clear point of view from you, but written in third person, about which of the characters you feel has the best argument. - This will likely take you at least three paragraphs.

Conclusion example: The argument between Creon and Haimon in Antigone provides many lessons in the art of persuasion and the principles of law.
