No, Oedipus does not stop when Jocasta asks him to in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Queen Jocasta becomes uncomfortable with the investigation that her second husband King Oedipus heads into the unsolved murder of her second husband King Laius.

How does Oedipus interpret Jocasta's sudden exit in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That she is a snob is the way in which Oedipus interprets Jocasta's sudden exit in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus discovers that he is the adopted or biological son of his presumed parents, Corinthian monarchs Polybus and Merope. He then finds out that his birthplace is within the Theban not the Corinthian royal household. Oedipus observes that his presumed humble birth to a palace servant offends his wife Queen Jocasta, who undoubtedly leaves because she likes to put on airs about her noble and royal ancestry.
Why does Teiresias try to protect Oedipus?
That the information Theban King Oedipus seeks is unbelievable and that the bearer of bad news needs to beware of his sovereign are the reasons why Teiresias the blind prophet tries to protect Oedipus. Oedipus asks the prophet for help in identifyng and punishing the killer or killers of Theban King Laius. But the very person whom Oedipus seeks is himself.It's dangerous to tell a monarch something that he neither believes nor likes.

Additionally, the information will tear to pieces everything that Oedipus believes about himself, his life, and his interactions with others.

What does Oedipus blame Creon for in 'Oedipus Rex'?
A charge of Oedipus as an assassin and immoralistis what Oedipus blames Creon for in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet says that Theban King Oedipus is the killer of his royal predecessor, King Laius. The punishment is execution or exile. Oedipus likes his job and his life in Thebes, does not want to lose either, and does not see how he can be the killer of a man whom he does not remember ever meeting. He therefore concludes that Creon, his brother-in-law and royal colleague, wants to grab all royal powers for himself and to that purpose has Teiresias tell this treasonous lie.
What is Creon's attitude toward being king in 'Oedipus Rex' and 'Antigone'?
That he likes to share and then that he does not are Creon's respective attitudes toward being king in "Oedipus Rex" and "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Creon argues that he prefers to rule as the subordinate member of a team. That is what he says while his brother-in-law and nephew Oedipus is king of Thebes. But Creon likes acting alone once he becomes sole king after the first civil war over the Theban royal succession.
What rational argument does Creon use to convince Oedipus that he has no designs on the throne of Thebes in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That he already has things as he likes them is the rational argument that Creon uses to convince Oedipus that he has no designs on the throne of Thebes in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Creon identifies King Oedipus, his brother-in-law and royal colleague, as the ultimate powerholder in Thebes. He says that he has no desire to change the situation. The way things currently are, Creon states that he gets everything that he needs and wants without the stresses of being responsible and making decisions.
What is Creon trying to prove when he questions Oedipus in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That he lacks the motive to grab all royal powersfor himself is what Creon tries to prove when he questions Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus accuses Creon, his brother-in-law and royal colleague, of conspiring with Teiresias the blind prophet to overthrow and execute him by way of a bogus murder charge. Creon attempts to defend himself by pointing out that he, his sister Queen Jocasta and Oedipus are equal royal power holders, that he and Jocasta do the minimum work to hold down their jobs and that Oedipus handles all stressful matters. He insists that he does not want to lead or do what he does not like to do and that he likes things the way they are.
If a girl you like and she likes you mastrubatues when she talked to you on the phone and you know she did and you might join in but you don't know if it will offend her then how can you tell.?
If she is doing that while your both on the phone I am pretty sure that it would not offend her and she would probably like it and is very much into it as she is doing it in the first place - so join in next time or start it off by saying your doing it.
Why is Creon kindly towards Oedipus at the end of 'Oedipus Rex'?
That he is officious and victorious is the reason why Creon is kindly towards Oedipus at the end of "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon well may take pride in his bureaucratic nature that crosses every letter "t" and dots every letter "i." He need not worry any more about disruptions to the appropriate protocol and the proper procedure that he so likes to follow now that his brother-in-law and former royal colleague Oedipus is disgraced personally and professionally. He rules over all Thebes and does not have to worry any longer about Oedipus' rash threats at execution or exile for unproven charges of treasonous conspiracy. He wins, and Oedipus loses.
