Answer

Brief Explanations:

In Sophocles' Antigone, Creon is the king who strictly adheres to the laws of the mortal realm he has set. He punishes Antigone for defying his edict not to bury her brother Polynices, showing his loyalty to mortal - made laws over other considerations like familial or divine bonds. Antigone defies mortal law for divine law, Ismene is more passive and conflict - ridden in her stance, and Haemon opposes Creon's harsh law - bound stance.

Answer:

A. Creon
