C. Antigone's willingness to defy the King is contrasted by Ismene's desire to obey the king

When Antigone wants to defy the King's direct orders and bury her brother, she shares her plan with her sister Ismene. Ismene though, is absolutely opposed to defying the King, as she does not want to get in trouble or face the punishment.
