Theban King Creon does a complete about face after his meeting with Teiresias the blind prophet. Teiresias warns the King that stubborn royal actions lead to great loss, pain and suffering within the royal house. The prediction so distresses and frightens Creon that he tries to undo his previous acts. For example, he has the exposed, unburied body of his nephew Polyneices buried. Then he tries to stop the execution of Antigone, his niece and future daughter-in-law.
Creon is successful in having his nephew's body buried according to proper Theban burial rites and rituals. But he isn't so successful in regard to Antigone. In fact, he gets to her prison too late to save her life, and just in time to see the suicide of Haemon, his son and Antigone's fiance. He likewise returns to the city too late to stop the suicide of his wife, Theban Queen Eurydice. And so the King manages to stop the city's plague from the unburied dead. But he can't stop the doom, destruction and death of everyone in his royal house except for himself.

What rhetorical questions identify two positions or world views in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Whether or not Oedipus is depraved and Whether or not Teiresias wishes to betray Oedipus and destroy Thebes are rhetorical questions that identify two positions or world views in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, a rhetorical question has no expected answer. A world view is an understanding of the environment in terms of a specific viewpoint. The difference between the world views of fate versus free will refers to the way in which an individual can or cannot control the direction in which life moves into inevitable death.In the second episode or scene, Theban King Oedipus confesses to his murderous crime. He fears that he may be cursed by his own doing if his victim somehow is connected with King Laius, Oedipus' royal predecessor and his wife's first husband. He questions, "Am I not depraved?" He receives no answer and does not seem to expect one. He says that he needs to be exiled, which is his prophesied fate.Also in the second episode or scene, but as an example of free will, Oedipus asks whether Teiresias the blind prophet wishes to betray him and destroy the city of Thebes. In essence, Oedipus asks if Teiresias plans treason. The answer is obvious in the sense that no one admits treason and receives the humiliating, painful traitor's punishment. Teiresias does not respond. Instead, he maintains that he still will not give the information that his sovereign seeks.
