What conclusion does Oedipus jump to when the prophet refuses to give specific information about the events surrounding Laius' death in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That Teiresias is involved in the crime is the conclusion that Oedipus jumps to when the prophet refuses to give specific information about the events surrounding Laius' death in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus asks for help in finding the guilty in King Laius' murder. He counts on considerable help from his royal advisor and Thebes' wisest resident, Teiresias the blind prophet. But Teiresias does not want to share. Oedipus interprets this reluctance as Teiresias' involvement as a planner if not a participant in the crime.
Does Teiresias comply with Oedipus' supplication in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Yes, Teiresias complies with Oedipus' request for help in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus asks Teiresias the blind prophet for help in finding the guilty in King Laius' murder. Teiresias initially does not want to share what he knows will anger his sovereign. But Oedipus interprets hesitation as guilty participation in the long unsolved murder. It is at that point that Teiresias tells all.
What does Teiresias do first when Oedipus asks for help?
The first reaction of Teiresias the blind prophet is not to want to help Theban King Oedipus. Oedipus asks Teiresias for the help that gods and mortals aren't giving him to identify the murderer of previous Theban King Laius. Teiresias indicates that he knows of the long unsolved crime, but doesn't want to give any information. He ends up identifying Oedipus as the very murderer only after being threatened, insulted, and accused as the murder's planner, by the King.
What information leads Oedipus to believe that Teiresias is the murderer in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That Teiresias does not want to talk or even be there is the information that leads Oedipus to believe that Teiresias is the murderer in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet is the royal advisor to all of Thebes' kings since the city's founding by founding King Cadmus. He must answer whatever questions that the current king asks of him. But he says that he does not even want to be in Theban King Oedipus' presence. Oedipus therefore states that Teiresias must be the planner if not the perpetrator of the murderous crime against King Laius, Oedipus' royal predecessor.

He does not want to tell Oedipus the painful truth.

Why does Creon want the guards to hurry Antigone to her tomb?
Creon wants the guards to hurry to Antigone in the cave because Teiresias (the blind prophet) told him that two family members would die is Antigone did. So at that, Creon needed to save her.
What is Oedipus' response to Teiresias' refusal in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That he accuses him of participating in Laius' murder is Oedipus' response to Teiresias' refusal to share information in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus asks for the insights of Teiresias the blind prophet, Thebes' wisest resident and a storehouse of present, past and future knowledge about the city and its inhabitants. But Teiresias does not want to share and in fact wants to turn around and go back home. Oedipus therefore flings the rash charge that Teiresias is the organizer and planner if not also the perpetrator in the long unsolved murder of King Laius, Oedipus' royal predecessor and his wife's first husband.
