What does Oedipus' confrontation with Tiresias and Creon indicate about his character?
This confrontation shows that he is a very emotional, quick-to-action character. He refuses to speak to Creon privately, showing that he is very curious and public about it. In this way, Creon is a foil for him. Tiresias is also a foil, being very cryptic in speech and also recommending privacy. Tiresias is blind but can see the truth but Oedipus can see but doesn't see the truth (at first). Overall, Oedipus is prone to rash decisions and his emotions guide many of his actions before he truly considers the consequences.

Why does Oedipus insist that he has to kill Creon in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That he distrusts him, must make an example of him and needs to kill before being killed are the reasons why Oedipus insists that he must kill Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus believes himself the intended victim of a planned coup by Creon, his brother-in-law and royal colleague, and Teiresias the blind prophet. He concludes that Creon covets all the royal powers. He therefore decides that Creon must be made an example of, to prevent future treachery by Creon and others who are like-minded in wanting what Oedipus has. He also fears for his own life if he does not kill Creon first.
