Why does Oedipus believe that Creon is plotting against him in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That he does not understand who else benefits from a treasonous charge is the reason why Oedipus believes that Creon is plotting against him in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet announces that Theban King Oedipus is the criminal sought by the gods and all Thebes for killing King Laius. Oedipus does not remember killing let alone even meeting his supposed victim. But he feels that the charge benefits his brother-in-law Creon, who can grab all the royal powers for himself if Oedipus is overthrown.


Why does Oedipus become angry with Creon and Tiresias?

Oedipus becomes angry with Creon and Tiresias because he perceives their words as threats to his authority and integrity. When Tiresias reveals that Oedipus himself is the cause of Thebes' suffering, Oedipus reacts with rage, accusing Tiresias of conspiracy and deceit. He similarly distrusts Creon, believing that Creon is plotting against him to seize power. This anger stems from his desperation to find the truth and protect his position as king.
