Personality:
sweet, innocent, peaceful, more levelheaded, loyal, cautious.

Personality:
arrogant, mistreats women, only wants his glory and power to be recognized, selfish

Because he is slightly older and he can play evil/arrogant and pompous which Creon is because he even threatens to have something bad happen to his son when his son is trying to save his finance.

Haemon~
Quotes:
-"No marriage could ever mean more to me than you" (Sophocles 93).
