The arrogance that leads to ineffective decision making is Oedipus' tragic flaw in Oedipus Rex by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, arrogance describes an individual who has an exaggerated sense of self and is proud. Oedipus exhibits arrogance when he leaves home, listens to the Delphic oracle, and runs away without consulting with his presumed parents. He expresses arrogance when he kills a hot-tempered senior citizen whom he resembles despite a prophesied fate of killing his father. He manifests arrogance when he neglects to carry out mandatory cleansing rituals for his crimes. He shows arrogance when he marries a beautiful older woman despite a prophesied fate of marrying his mother.
Oedipus basically had what in the greek language was called hubris...its the tragic flaw of arrogance...throughout the play, it is evident that Oedipus thinks highly of himself (and this is brought up many times in conversation with Tiresias.) Another flaw Oedipus had was being overly determined to find out this truth of his identity, this inevitably causes his downfall
It is his pride.
Hamartia is Oedipus' tragic flaw. His tragic flaw is his hubris, or his excessive pride. and in the end it leads to his downfall. He utters a curse condemning Laius's killer.
That she is a child who suffers but who is not known to do great things is the reason why Antigone is not the tragic hero of the play "Oedipus Rex."Specifically, a person who is tragic meets with a bad end. A person who is heroic is capable of doing great deeds. The job description matches Antigone's father, Theban King Oedipus, in the play "Oedipus Rex" and herself in the play "Antigone".
Yes, Oedipus is a tragic character in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, a tragic character experiences an unfortunate end, or meets with a misfortunate turn of events, in life.

Oedipus and Roland are both tragic heroes because they experience a downfall due to a fatal flaw in their character. Oedipus's tragic flaw is his pride and impulsiveness, while Roland's is his sense of duty and loyalty. Despite their noble qualities, both characters meet a tragic fate that brings about their downfall.

Oh, probably not. She isn't the main character. She has no flaws (unless you count unshakeable fidelity as a flaw), and does not have a moment where she realizes that she has done wrong. Basically, she is not like Oedipus. According to Aristotle, only Oedipus or someone exactly like him can be a tragic hero, and only Oedipus Rex or a play exactly like it can be a tragedy. What an idiot.
The answer is debatable. But it is widely said that Oedipus was the protagonist and antagonist. Otherwise known as a 'tragic hero'.
Oedipus falls from power due to his tragic flaw of hubris, or excessive pride. This flaw leads him to unknowingly fulfill a prophecy that brings about his downfall. Aristotle would classify Oedipus's fall as a result of hamartia, or a fatal error in judgment caused by his pride and ignorance.
Pride that causes him to respond with lethal force to his own father is the tragic flaw that brings Oedipus to catastrophe in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, pride is the opposite of humility. The description fits Theban King Oedipus, who panics and overreacts to every slight. For example, he enters an intersection in which his right of way is taken away, and he is jostled and then hit on the head with a double whip. He delivers a murderous blow with his staff to an older version of himself. Years later, a murder investigation headed by him brings him down as the murderer of King Laius, his father and the obnoxious stranger at the intersection.
Yes, Oedipus is a good tragic hero in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, a hero may be a story's main character. He also may be an individual capable of great deeds or exercising great powers. As the main character, he may or may not be a person of integrity and kindness. But as a powerful man of action, he always is good. He is tragic when his life comes to an unfortunate end, whose degree of miserableness tends to be aided by some flaw such as a hero's pride. The previous position description fits Theban King Creon.
