Please help me with this question I've been trying to get help since yesterday!!

Do you think Oedipus has a tragic flaw?

If so explain whether you believe it to be anger, excessive pride, or another quality. If you do not think he has a specific tragic flaw, explain your reasoning.

In 1-2 paragraphs, defend your position using at least two examples from the text as evidence.

please help thank you

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

He was so prideful after discovering that his mother was the mother to his children that he gouged his eyes out. He became so ashamed and guilt-ridden that he couldn't bear to see his children anymore. Forgetting about his family, he took matters into his own hands.
