Antigone 2

HAEMON. Antigone, this is madness—!

ANTIGONE. [Very sharp] —I AM NOT MAD.
I AM THE ELDEST DAUGHTER OF OEDIPUS REX.
I AM THE DESCENDANT OF KINGS—
THAT IS NOT MADNESS—
THAT IS OBLIGATION.
You are the son of a tutor
You cannot understand—
You cannot know—
You cannot possibly—
And though I adore you
You are limited.

[Pause]

I’m sorry.

[Then]  You have not answered my question.
