Kendall Burgess · Answer 1

The illustration emphasizes Creon's extreme grief.

Explanation:

As the description of the illustration presents, when we look at the illustration we will see a man with a gray beard who looks disturbed and is holding a limp man in his arms. The man with the gray beard is Creon and the man in his arms is Haemon who committed su*c*de. Creon's disturbance on his face reveals his sadness at knowing that Haemon died and reveals extreme suffering.

Haemon is Creon's son, which explains Creon's deep grief.
