Pride, the Tragic Flaw of Oedipus the King

According to Aristotle, the protagonist of the tragedy must have a tragic flaw that ultimately caused him to destroy. It is his pride that Oedipus of Sophocles' King Oedipus brought about his tragic bondage. When the pride of Oedipus improved him, there were three examples: when he left his adopted parents in Cornice, the second was Oedipus when the second opposed Kryon Ask a messenger to tell him everything he knows who his real parents are

When he left adoptive parents in Corinth, Edeps was very proud. Edeps passed away after being told the fate of the old prophet. The prophet told Oedipus that she would marry her father some day and marry her mother. Odds decided to leave Cornice because of concern. By doing so he opposed the gods, he said that he would not let this happen to him, he dominates his own destiny

The second example was his opposition to Kryon when Edps showed great pride. Edips invited Kryon as a traitor. He said that Kryon persuaded him to send the Prophet Tiresias to find the man who killed Reus. He believes Creon and Tiresias are opposed to him and he says he is the killer's murderer. Oedipus think that Kryon did this, so he can become a king

The last example of Pride of Edips who made him better was when I asked him to tell him that I knew he was his real parents. Messenger once again tried to tell him that things would stay better, but Oedipus continues to proceed and find answers. Finally, Messenger told him that Polybus is not his father's parent and Jocasta already knows that she is his mother. Edpsus asked who his real parents are. Jocasta ignored Messenger at Oedipus and begged Oedipus to say "Please never find out who you are" (1073). Of course Edipus moves anyway and must send a message to the shepherd who knows where Edipus came from. Edips' pride was once again hindered

Overall, if Oedipus does not have so much pride, the situation will be improved.

First of all, as you said, Edpe's tragic flaw is his pride. In fact, I would even say that the whole game was driven by Oedipus's pride. Considering this, it seems that Edips did not solve his pride. However, there are several signs that Edips had finally noticed his pride. First of all, at the end of the script, Edpsus knew clearly that he was the person who committed a crime. With this in mind, he was obliged to deal with his pride. He can not do anything. More importantly, he accepted fate. With the other two Theban dramas, you can see this more clearly. In the last game, he became a blessing to Athens. He is a wise man now.
