What behaviors do you find in your reading of Oedipus the King?

In the reading of Oedipus, you can see one of the pride behaviors between Oedipus and Jocasta because both of them tries to escape the prophecy but in the end, Oedipus marrying his mother(wife having 4 kids ) accidentally kills this father without knowing it, as Oedipus Jocasta tries to escape it by telling the shepherd to abandon Oedipus and killing it. But the shepherd does what Jocata which also results in the prophecy coming true, when trying to escape from fate but resulting in happing. Also, fate if Oedipus didn’t listen to the prophecy and left Corinth, fate won’t happen that quickly or in a way that the prophecy can be false. In the end, Jocasta kills herself from knowing the truth and so did Oedipus blind himself(in a way to not see the horror in his life again).
