Answer:
1. It is hubris or pride. Upon reaching adulthood and hearing the prophecy that he will murder his father and take his mother as his own wife, he attempts to flee the fate the gods have laid out before him by leaving Corinth. Unknowingly, he places himself upon the path that will lead to the prophecy coming true.
2. Both were attempting to prevent a terrible prophecy from coming true, Each prophecy involved the murder of a father by his son. Both Lauis' and Oedipus' behavior demonstrates that each believed he could use his free will to escape his fate
.
3. Trying to stop a divinely ordained murder investigation and neglecting to undergo cleansing rituals are examples of acts of hubris respectively committed by Jocasta and Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Queen Jocasta tries to stop her second husband, King Oedipus, in his investigation of the murder of her first husband, King Laius. She does so because she realizes that something horrifying and humiliating is about to be revealed. But that is not her call to make since the Apolline oracle states that the pestilence in Thebes will end only with the identification and punishment of the guilty in Laius' murder.
Additionally, Oedipus neglects to follow proper purification procedures after killing five people. He is supposed to admit his crime and accept his punishment. Instead, he goes to Thebes, defeats the monstrous Sphinx and marries the older, recently widowed Theban queen. But he does absolutely nothing to carry out cleansing rituals regarding the recent, unsolved slaughter of King Laius and his escort party. These two lapses are arrogant breaches of the conduct code between gods and mortals.

Answer:
Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's laws wrong, it learned to walk without having feet
Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams,
It learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from the concrete
When no one else even cared!
As we can see in the poem above, using a rose as a metaphor, the speaker says an individual can rise above hardship by keeping their dreams. Even if no one believes in them, even if they have to go against nature's laws - against all kinds of adversity -, people can be the rose that grew from the concrete. They can succeed no matter what.
I believe one of the greatest characters in the world that should be compared to that rose to be Nelson Mandela. The world was against him. The laws of his country, the people in power, society, all of it conspired against his purposes and goals. He was imprisoned for decades, but still breathed fresh air, still kept his dreams and principles. He refused to be suffocated by societal concrete. He grew to become president of the very country that once rejected him.
