Hubris meaning excess pride, leading to overconfidence, and hamartia meaning errors and weakness in judgment are the main reason of destruction and downfall in mankind and the tragic hero, Oedipus Rex. He is unable to escape his misfortune that is destined to happen. There are many more tragic flaws other than these two that also contribute to the falling of the hero. The destruction and downfall can be seen as fate. Even though Oedipus chooses his own actions, the resulting consequences that come about are ones that are unable to be changed. As seen, no one is able to outrun his or her own fate.

it was what he didn't know that hurt him in the end. his whole life he was told that he would kill his dad, and love his mom. he sat around waiting for it but found out that he was adopted and this had already happened before he was physically blind.
