OEDIPUS: Mock my excellence, but you will find out I am truly great. TEIRESIAS: That quality of yours now ruins you. OEDIPUS: I do not care, if I have saved the city. TERESIAS: I will go now. Boy, lead me away. OEDIPUS: Yes, let him guide you back. You’re in the way. If you stay, you’ll just provoke me. Once you’re gone, you won’t annoy me further. What character flaw does Teiresias point out?

Respuesta :

hubris, pride, or in other words, his self love

Answer:

Arrogance and pride

Explanation:

Teiresias, the blind prophet, ironically is the one who has the capacity to see without the use of his sight the real responsible individual for the plague that affects the city of Thebes. Oedipus refuses to acknowledge that his violent temper and dangerous pride are his own ruin; his diction reflects the superiority that he feels over the rest. Oedipus has both eyes but it seems that they do not allow him to see clearly. Teiresias is to point out that flaw of Oeidipus's that causes his tragic fall.
