What is an example of hamartia as it appears in the character Oedipus?

Hamartia is the tragic flaw or error in judgment that leads to the protagonist's downfall. In Oedipus, the tragic flaw is his excessive pride and self-confidence, which lead him to believe he is above the gods. This is shown when he mocks Tiresias' prophecies and refuses to believe him, even when the prophecies come true. Ultimately, it is Oedipus' stubborn refusal to accept his own flaws and responsibilities that leads to his downfall.
