In "Oedipus Rex," Creon serves as Oedipus's brother-in-law and a voice of reason. He is initially a trusted advisor to Oedipus and is sent to the Oracle at Delphi to seek guidance for the plague affecting Thebes. As the story unfolds, Creon becomes a foil to Oedipus, representing rationality and stability, while Oedipus's impulsive nature leads to his downfall. Ultimately, Creon's role shifts from advisor to ruler, as he assumes control after Oedipus's tragic revelations.
