Some tireless hum an experience i get from reading Oedipus the King are pride and fate. Oedipus is a very powerful leader and throughout the story you start to see that he wants to outrun his fate in hopes of it not happening. Soon we start to see that the pride becomes his downfall He tries to stop his destiny but ends up meeting the requirements unknowingly. Pride is a really big behavior that I see all during the whole story as because of that it make Oedipus susceptible to his own fate add along with that his pride try to use his power to control everything ended up in disaster for him.

Hello Nyhiem, I also share similar experiences reading Oedipus the king. He is known for his intelligence, bravery, and determination, as well as his tragic flaw, which ultimately leads to his downfall. Oedipus is often seen as a tragic hero because of his fatal flaw, which in this case is his pride and his belief in his own intelligence and ability to control his fate. Despite his efforts to avoid his fate, he ultimately fulfills the prophecy, bringing ruin to himself and those around him.
