Answer 1

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Oedipus' tragic flaw is excessive pride. He became so prideful when he found out that he had children with his mother, that he gouged his eyes out. He was too self-absorbed in the matter to think of his family but so overcome with guilt and shame that he couldnt bear to see his children anymore.
