HUBRIS - Tragic Flaw...
The hubris in "Oedipus Rex" is evident in Oedipus's excessive pride and overconfidence in his own abilities. Despite being warned by the blind prophet Tiresias that he is the cause of Thebes' suffering and that he should cease his investigation, Oedipus refuses to accept the possibility that he could be the source of the city's woes. His insistence on uncovering the truth and bringing the culprit to justice demonstrates his belief in his own infallibility.
Oedipus's hubris is particularly evident in his interactions with Tiresias and Creon. He accuses Tiresias of being involved in a conspiracy against him and dismisses Creon's loyalty, suspecting him of trying to usurp the throne. Oedipus's pride blinds him to the possibility that the prophecy about killing his father and marrying his mother could apply to him. His relentless pursuit of the truth, fueled by his arrogance, ultimately leads to the revelation of his tragic destiny.
The irony lies in Oedipus's attempt to escape fate, only to unknowingly fulfill it through his own actions. The play serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of excessive pride and the consequences of defying the will of the gods.
