Tone Tuesday: AP English Literature

Please compare and contrast the tone of two passages from two different translations of Oedipus at Colonus: In the Paul Roche version that statements begin on page 131 (after the 3rd Choral Dialogue) where Oedipus responds to Creon. In the other version http://classics.mit.edu/Sophocles/colonus.html  Oedipus comments begin at "O' shameless railer."  What elements of diction, syntax, imagery contribute to differences in tone? Describe the tone using at least three words.  Where are shifts?
