What makes a person good will definitely differ from person to person, and yet we will have a lot of the same traits in our lists. When I get to know someone I usually let me gut take the reigns on deciding if someone is good. My list of what makes someone "good" consist of:
-Caring
-Thoughtful
-Open-minded
-Keen
-Understanding
-Honest
-Willing to help others if able
-Willing to give if able
-Listener
In the three stories that I've read I would say Haemon would be the most closely related to what I would define as "good". He stood by his father, Creon, and told him that he would never intentionally disagree with him, but then told the truth about what he thought of his decision. He told him that even though he is the "ruler" of Thebes, he should listen to what others think and be willing to accept outside advice.
