Oedipus' awareness of his past ultimately harms him rather than benefits him. His quest for the truth leads to the devastating realization that he has unwittingly fulfilled the prophecy of killing his father and marrying his mother. This knowledge results in profound despair and self-inflicted blindness, illustrating how the pursuit of truth can have tragic consequences. Ultimately, Oedipus' awareness transforms him from a respected leader into a figure of tragedy and loss.
Brutal is the way that Oedipus treats those who are reluctant to obey him in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus contradicts, insults and threatens Teiresias the blind prophet, his brother-in-law Creon, and an elderly shepherd. In each case, the individual tells the truth, but it is not what Oedipus wants to hear. He therefore responds with insults againt their integrity and threats of bodily harm.
Oedipus threatens to punish the herdsman severely if he does not confess what he knows about his past and the truth of his origins. He implies that he will resort to violent measures, including physical harm or exile, to compel the herdsman to reveal the information he is withholding. This threat reflects Oedipus's desperation to uncover the truth and his growing frustration with those who are reluctant to speak.
Freedom from torment but disrespect to the gods are what happens to Thebes once the riddle of the Sphinx is solved in the play "Oedipus Rex."Specifically, Thebans are free to come and go as they please without fear of bodily harm once subsequent Theban King Oedipus solves the riddle and the Sphinx kills herself. But Oedipus pollutes the Theban environment since he comes to Thebes straight from having killed an arrogant, elderly stranger and not having carried out any of the required cleansing rituals. He allows himself to be persuaded by Thebans to marry the widow of the previous king who never returns from a sacred journey to Delphi.Oedipus is wrong not to have revealed his crime and made amends. He and all Thebans are wrong not to have identified and punished Theban King Laius' murderer(s). Everyone therefore becomes free of one danger only to end up facing another through their own disrespect to and disobedience of the rigid rules of gods and of kings.
No this is part of a physicians creed. First do no harm.
Macbeth does not believe that Malcolm cannot harm himself. He is quite prepared to believe that Malcolm might harm Malcolm, which is what "harm himself" means. Macbeth does believe that Malcolm cannot harm him (i.e. Macbeth) because Malcolm's mother was apparently a woman and the witches said that none of woman born could harm Macbeth.
The opposite of benefit is harm, hurt, or disadvantage.
Spiders benefit plants in their ecosystem by controlling insect populations that can harm the plants. By preying on insects, spiders help maintain a balance in the ecosystem, which ultimately supports the health and growth of plants.

Tiresias is initially reluctant to tell Oedipus the truth about his fate because he knows that revealing the prophecy will bring great suffering and destruction to Oedipus and his family. He struggles with the moral dilemma of deciding whether to tell the truth and fulfill his duty as a prophet, or withhold the information to prevent harm. Ultimately, Tiresias chooses to disclose the prophecy, leading to the tragic consequences that unfold in the story.
Lennie's tragic flaw in "Of Mice and Men" is his lack of awareness of his own physical strength. Because he doesn't understand his own power, he unintentionally causes harm to those around him, ultimately leading to tragic consequences.
