Whom does Oedipus charge with treason in 'Oedipus Rex'?
It is Creon and Teiresias that Oedipus charges with treason in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet announces that Theban King Oedipus is King Laius' killer. Oedipus does not remember ever meeting Laius and fears the execution or exile promised by the gods for whomsoever is Laius' killer. Oedipus therefore makes the assumption that his royal advisor, Teiresias, and his royal colleague, Creon, are conspiring treasonously against him, their sovereign, to grab royal powers all to themselves.
Why does Oedipus accuse Creon of treason in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That he thinks Creon seeks to overthrow him is why Oedipus accuses Creon of treason in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, treason can involve opposition to and overthrow of the current ruler. Teiresias the blind prophet accuses Theban King Oedipus of being the killer of Theban King Laius. Oedipus is not aware of ever having met Laius. But such an accusation can result in Oedipus' overthrow, from which the most obvious beneficiary is Creon, as Oedipus' brother-in-law and co-ruler.
What blind prophet does Oedipus force to tell the truth about King Laius' murder?
Teiresias is the blind prophet whom Theban King Oedipus forces to tell the truth about Theban King Laius' murder. Teiresias is reluctant to share what he knows. In fact, the truth may end up getting him charged with treason. That serious charge and undoubtedly the knowledge of Oedipus' quick temper keep the blind seer from saying what he knows to be true. It's only after considerable bullying, insulting and threatening from Oedipus that Teiresias relents. His hesitation is due to his knowledge of Oedipus as a father killer, a king killer, and an incestuous sex offender.
Whom does Oedipus send and where before the beginning of 'Oedipus Rex'?
Creon; the Delphic oracle
Why is Oedipus angry with Creon and Teiresias in 'Oedipus Rex'?
It is because he thinks that they conspire against himthat Oedipus is angry with Creon and 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. Oedipus cannot understand how he can be the killer of someone whom he never remembers meeting. The charge carries a punishment of execution or exile. Oedipus therefore concludes that Teiresias is conspiring with Creon to grab all royal powers to themselves.

The charge is treason
How can the quarrel between Oedipus and Creon be described in 'Oedipus Rex'?
An unfounded charge of treason and a spirited but respectful self-defense describes the quarrel between Oedipus and Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus is upset because Teiresias the blind prophet calls him the killer of King Laius, the first husband of Oedipus' wife Queen Jocasta. Such a charge is treasonous, and if proven carries the death sentence or exile. Oedipus therefore hurtles charges Creon, his brother-in-law and royal colleague, with treasonous conspiracy to grab all royal powers to himself and refuses to listen to Creon's insistence that he likes things the way they are, of getting what he wants without having to work for it.
Whom does Oedipus assume is behind Teiresias' claims in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Creon is the person whom Oedipus assumes to be behind Teiresias' claims in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet says that Theban King Oedipus is King Laius' killer. Oedipus is angered, horrified and terrified at being charged with killing someone whom he never remembers meeting and for which the penalty is execution or exile. He therefore assumes that the claim is made up so that Creon, who stands the most to gain with Oedipus' overthrow, is behind Teiresias' charges.
Whom does Oedipus think is framing him in 'Oedipus Rex'?
It is Creon and Teiresias that Oedipus thinks is framing him in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet accuses Theban King Oedipus of being the murderer of King Laius. Oedipus does not remember ever meeting Laius, his royal predecessor and his wife's first husband. Such a treasonous charge is punishable by execution or exile. Oedipus looks to who benefits from his overthrow. He notes that Creon, his royal colleague, and Teiresias, his royal advisor, have the most to gain by his fall from power.
How is Oedipus stubborn in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That he refuses to listen to reason and that he will not give up on a murder investigation are ways in which Oedipus is stubborn in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, stubbornness refers to an unwillingness to change words, thoughts or deeds in accordance with shifting circumstances. This description fits Theban King Oedipus. For example, he refuses to listen to Creon's reasonable self-defense against the unreasonable charge of conspiracy to commit treason. This is not at all admirable. But his stubbornness is admirable when he persists in carrying the investigation into King Laius' murder to its dreadful conclusion.
Does Oedipus stubbornly ignore the truth that stares him in the face for many years in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Yes, Oedipus stubbornly ignores the truth that stares him in the face for many years in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus kills a man whom he recognizes at the time as looking like an older version of himself. He then marries a woman whom he recognizes at the time as beautiful but old enough to be his mother. He ultimately realizes the truth that remains at all times in front of him: that his victim is the father whom he is prophesied to kill and that his spouse is the mother whom he is prophesied to marry.
Whom does Creon bring to Oedipus at the end of 'Oedipus Rex'?
Oedipus' daughters are the individuals whom Creon brings to Oedipus at the end of "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princesses Antigone and Ismene are King Oedipus' daughters and half-sisters. Oedipus is supposed to be shunned if not outright isolated for killing his father and marrying his mother. But Creon lets Oedipus, his brother-in-law and royal predecessor, meet with his children while everyone awaits the expression of divine will as to whether Oedipus is to be punished with execution or exile for his albeit unknowing criminal act and immoral behavior.
