The correct answer is HUBRIS.*Hubris* refers to excessive pride, arrogance, or overconfidence, often leading to a downfall or negative consequences. In Greek tragedy, hubris is considered a serious flaw that can provoke the gods' wrath or lead to a character's demise.

- *Arrogance*: A haughty or disdainful attitude towards others.
- *Overconfidence*: Believing oneself to be above the law or invincible.
Examples
