Flaws of a King

Oedipus Rex, King Oedipus.. A blind yet wise man, arrogant, with a great amount of pride, balled up into one indvudual who cannot see the truth, and because of his boastful hubris, is unable to perceive the truth like you and I when told of said truth. The concept of hamartia deals with a characters tragic flaw, and what was stated before is Oedipus' hamartia, When Oedipus is confront by Tiresias and when the blind prophet explains that Oedipus killed the previous king, King Laius, Oedipus was appalled and furious with not only Tiresias, but Creon too. Claiming that it was, a blind accusation, ironically being that Oedipus is blind not to the situation at hand, but to the entire fact that the Gods told him that he will kill his father. Oedipus, along with being very blind, is arrogant. He feels superior to all the common people of Thebes because of his intellect, for he himself confronted the Sphinx that plagued the city of Thebes. With all these in mind, all these concept  in hand will lead to the tragic fall that is King Oedipus. But we'll talk about that later.
