Character: Creon from Oedipus the King
Creon's motivation in this play is to help Oedipus get to the bottom of the mystery surrounding Thebes' woes, which Oedipus is glad to accept. When Tiresias tells Oedipus of his fate, Oedipus turns on Creon, believing he is setting it all up so that he may get the crown. Creon's motivation to find the answer to the mystery causes him to go into a self-defense mode because he feels he is being unjustly accused of something he is not in fact responsible for and this pushes him away from Oedipus and the effort to solve the problem.
