So I guess we're onto reading plays now? Sweet. Well this dude, Oedipus, is pretty arrogant and worst of all, he doesn't even  realize. You know what else he doesn't seem to realize? The fact that it's because of him in the first place that his people are now suffering. Nice one, man. How ironic. And he probably looks like an idiot when he finds out the killer is himself.
So not only is his hamartia the reason for why he killed his so called father but also the reason for why pain and suffering is upon his people and supposedly himself. I haven't necessarily seen any catharsis yet so I'm guessing that's more towards the end of the play? And I'm guessing pathos is used because even though this guy is really cocky and has brought all of this upon himself, you should sort of still feel sorry for him.
