Answer: The character that values individual choice over submission to the state is Antigone.
Explanation: In Sophocles' Antigone, Antigone decides to defy the state, which is represented by Creon. In the play, the ruler of Thebes prohibits all the citizens to bury Polynices, Antigone's brother, and warns everyone that the person that dares to disobey him will be condemned to death; however, unlike Ismene, Antigone goes against Creon's orders and gives his brother a proper burial. This shows that Antigone is not submissive to the state and that she actually follows her own wishes.
