Reputation is power and respect and once you tarnish what is known as your rep, then you will have difficult living a happy life. I feel that in Hamlet, the antagonist Claudius killed his brother purposely, and then began to sleep with his wide soon after. His reputation went down the drain when Hamlet and everybody finds out and kills him.
I feel the difference between Oedipus and Claudius is that, Claudius chose to kill his brother and sleep with his wife. Whereas Oedipus did it by fate without knowing.
