He defended Tom Robinson without caring that everyone in Maycomb was a calling him a “nigger lover” and many other racial slurs. All Atticus did was shrug them off.

Oedipus The King 2
... For instance, some people may examine Oedipus’ bad temper and label this as the flaw that leads to his downfall. Oedipus becomes enraged at Teiresias’ claim that he is the one who murdered Laius and he begins to believe that this is an attempt by Creon to overthrow him. Despite Oedipus’ anger in this situation, his reaction can be justified. First of all, Teiresias’ allegation that Oedipus is the killer is absurd to him since he would
