Oedipus is motivated by too much pride or hubris. He sees himself as a glorified man because the people in the town considers him a hero and a successor to the throne. His hubris contributes to the plot in a such a way that a conflict arises between him and Teiresias when he is confronted of accusations of killing Laius.
