That Creon is a team member who controlshis emotions and goes by the book and that Oedipus is a leader who runs with his emotions and cravesimmediate results are the main ways in which Creon and Oedipus are different in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Oedipus is treated by his people as though he rules alone even though he actually shares power with his wife, Queen Jocasta, and with his brother-in-law, Creon. Because he is so caught up with his life and that of his city, Oedipus tends to think on his feet and give way to rash acts and passionate outbursts. In contrast, Creon sees himself as part of a team and therefore tries to follow proper procedure, find common ground and defuse conflict.
