Yes, Antigone has hubris or excess virtue that dooms her in 'Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the term hubris describes an exaggerated sense of self worth, arrogance, pride. Theban Princess Antigone is arrogant in thinking that she can disrespect King Creon, the gods' earthly representative in Thebes. But at the same time, she may be said to have excess virtue because of her uncompromising love for her family and loyalty to the gods.

What do you mean by grandeur of dooms in the poem a thing of beauty by john keats?
And such too is the grandeur [nobility or greatness of character] of the dooms [the end, death, destruction] In an earlier line, the poet says, 'Some shape of beauty moves away the pall From our dark spirits..' Similarly, death is the sad end but what makes the mighty dead immortal in spite of death is their 'grandeur' which is nobility or greatness of character and deeds. Even though they are dead, they continue to inspire in us greatness and nobility. [By Rajesh Dutta, HOD, English Department, Suncity World School, Gurgaon.]
What is the poetic justice in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That Oedipus makes mistakes because he does not process what is staring him in the face so he blinds himself is the poetic justice in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, poetic justice describes a situation in which there is a perfect cancelling out of commissions and omissions. The description fits the ending years in the life of Theban King Oedipus. Specifically, Oedipus dooms himself by killing someone old enough to be his fathere and marrying someone old enough to be his mother. He is warned of his fate to kill his father and marry his mother. But he overlooks the obvious resemblance between him and his murder victim and between him and his wife. He realizes the oversight and removes what he considers a contributing factor to his problems: his sight.
Is romeo a victim of fate or of his own character?
There is no difference between "fate" and "character". The idea of people having a "character" is like the Elizabethan idea of the "humourous man": the idea that people are dominated by certain unchangeable character traits. The Victorians, like the Elizabethans, loved this idea. At its worst, you get infantile and cardboard-thin characters in plays who are like the Spice Girls--their personalities can be summed up in one adjective. The idea of a fixed character also means that character development is out of the question: a person is what he is and can never change. If you think that Romeo has a "character" that he can be a vicitim of, you are already saying that fate has given him this character, and that he is therefore indirectly a victim of fate. If, on the other hand, you interpret characters in plays as people who make choices and decisions to deal with the circumstances they face, you do not need to appeal to "humours", "persona" or "character" to define them. They are always free agents, choosing according to the circumstances. As characters learn to avoid pitfalls in choosing, or to take more and deeper factors into consideration, they grow as characters. The tougher the choices, the more they grow. When Juliet is faced by the advice of her oldest and best confidente to commit bigamy, she is faced with a hard choice. Her response is unlike anything she has said before: she is cold as ice, and she turns the nurse off like a faucet. When Romeo hears about Juliet's death from Balthazar, he asks, "Hast thou no letters to me from the friar?" He's on the right track, but he chooses not to pursue it. "No matter" he says. Why does he make this choice, which dooms him? Is he overwhelmed by a desire to see Juliet's face again before she disintegrates? Does he feel helpless, and that he should be taking some kind of action, not waiting for more information? These are questions for actors and directors to struggle with, but they show that there is no need for a concept of a fixed personality to understand a character in a play.

In Romeo and Juliet what is the line Friar Lawrence says when Romeo and Juliet die?
First, he says: "I am the greatest, able to do least, Yet most suspected, as the time and place Doth make against me of this direful murder; And here I stand, both to impeach and purge Myself condemned and myself excused." then he explains to everybody what has happened: "I will be brief, for my short date of breath Is not so long as is a tedious tale. Romeo, there dead, was husband to that Juliet; And she, there dead, that Romeo's faithful wife: I married them; and their stol'n marriage-day Was Tybalt's dooms-day, whose untimely death Banish'd the new-made bridegroom from the city, For whom, and not for Tybalt, Juliet pined. You, to remove that siege of grief from her, Betroth'd and would have married her perforce To County Paris: then comes she to me, And, with wild looks, bid me devise some mean To rid her from this second marriage, Or in my cell there would she kill herself. Then gave I her, so tutor'd by my art, A sleeping potion; which so took effect As I intended, for it wrought on her The form of death: meantime I writ to Romeo, That he should hither come as this dire night, To help to take her from her borrow'd grave, Being the time the potion's force should cease. But he which bore my letter, Friar John, Was stay'd by accident, and yesternight Return'd my letter back. Then all alone At the prefixed hour of her waking, Came I to take her from her kindred's vault; Meaning to keep her closely at my cell, Till I conveniently could send to Romeo: But when I came, some minute ere the time Of her awaking, here untimely lay The noble Paris and true Romeo dead. She wakes; and I entreated her come forth, And bear this work of heaven with patience: But then a noise did scare me from the tomb; And she, too desperate, would not go with me, But, as it seems, did violence on herself. All this I know; and to the marriage Her nurse is privy: and, if aught in this Miscarried by my fault, let my old life Be sacrificed, some hour before his time, Unto the rigour of severest law."
