What character trait of Oedipus is revealed by the fact that he accuses Creon in 'Oedipus Rex'?

Recklessness is a character trait revealed by Oedipus' accusation against Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, recklessness shows an unconcern or disregard for human life. The description fits Theban King Oedipus when he chooses to disregard Creon's track record. Creon does what Oedipus tells him to do and behaves as though he has no interest in grabbing all the royal powers for himself. But Oedipus claims just that when he hears upsetting, treacherous charges from Teiresias the blind prophet. He can only think that he is being framed for murder so that Teiresias and Creon, who stand to gain with Oedipus' overthrow, can take over.

What do the confrontations with Tiresias and Creon tell us about Oedipus' character in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That he reckless is what Oedipus' confrontations with Teiresias and Creon say about his character in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus is reckless in his overreactions to what he dislikes. He hears Teiresias accuse him of a murder that he does not remember committing. He gets back by claiming groundlessly and insultingly that he is being framed so that Teiresias and Creon can grab all the royal powers for themselves.


Why does Oedipus become so angry with Teiresias in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That what Teiresias says is treasonous and unbelievableis the reason why Oedipus becomes so angry with Teiresias in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet accuses Theban King Oedipus of killing King Laius. The charge carries the unenviable punishment of execution or exile. Oedipus does not remember ever meeting his royal predecessor. He is frightened at being framed and at losing the role model life of personal happiness and professional success that is his in Thebes.


Who do you think is the better leader Oedipus or Creon?

I personally think that Oedipus is a better leader because he was willing to exile himself to protect Thebes from the plague. Also, in Oedipus Rex, Creon discusses with Oedipus that he does not want to be king because he didn't want that responsibility; as long as Oedipus was king, he had all the privileges of royalty without having to worry about the politics of it.
