Who identifies Oedipus as Laius' killer?
Teiresias the blind prophet is first to identify Theban King Oedipus as the killer of Theban King Laius. He's reluctant to do so. In fact, such an utterance opens him up to a charge of treason. So he only reveals the information after a beastly, bullying barrage of insults and threats from Oedipus.Later on, Theban Queen Jocasta tells Oedipus that her most trusted servant is the sole survivor of the struggle that results in Laius' death. Upon his return to Thebes, the servant finds Oedipus already installed on Thebes' throne and in Jocasta's bed. He recognizes Oedipus as Laius' killer. He doesn't identify Oedipus at the time. But he does so, years later, when Oedipus tries to find and punish Laius' killer[s].
What important truth about Oedipus' life is pointed out by Creon?
Theban King Creon points out an important truth in the marriage of Theban King Oedipus. He acknowledges as his own sister Theban Queen Jocasta, who is Oedipus' wife. He therefore points out the personal and professional responsibilities that Oedipus has towards Creon and Jocasta as his relatives and as his colleagues. He thereby reminds Oedipus of his failed responsibilities in tracking down the killer[s] of Jocasta's first husband, Theban King Laius. At the same time, he thereby recalls Oedipus' equally failed duty to rule jointly with his own brother-in-law, who also turns out to be his unce; and his own wife, who also turns out to be his mother.
How do Oedipus' promises create tension in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Theban King Oedipus promises his people that he will seek out and punish the killer[s] of his royal predecessor, Theban King Laius. He promises that the punishment will be carried out even should the perpetrator[s] be found within his own household. This promise raises the possibility that the royal householdindeed will be the very place where the criminal[s] will be found. It raises the additional possibility that the city's own beloved king may be the killer or one of the killers.These possibilities all create tension, because Oedipus takes on the roles of law giver and law enforcer, of king and of judge. To these administrative roles must be added the possible and increasingly probable roles that Oedipus plays as law breaker and law suppliant, as the perpetrator of crimes and as the victim of his own ignorance, pride, and short temper. The ever increasing number of roles that Oedipus takes on increases his chances of being punished, pitied, or both.
