I feel that in Oedipus and Hamlet, the characters who did the most outrageous things are Oedipus Claudius. I feel that Oedipus should not be entirely blamed for his wrong doing because he was not aware which hurts him more personally and emotionally and that's why he ended up killing himself.
On the other hand you have an antagonist Claudius, who is very manipulative and would do anything for power. So he willing murdered his brother so he could become King and he married his brother's wide so he chose his fate as Oedipus did not.
