Hamartia is a fatal flaw in a character, usually a hero/heroine. An example of hamartia would be Othello's jealousy in the Shakespearean play Othello.
Yes, Theban King Oedipus' cursing Theban King Laius' murderer is an example of hamartia in 'Oedipus Rex'. The word 'hamartia' comes to us from Aristotle [384 B.C.E. - 322 B.C.E.]. The ancient Greek philosopher uses the word to refer to a 'flaw' or 'error' in a character or personality.The curse identifies Oedipus as an individual who's capable of rash actions and words. Specifically, Oedipus says that he will seek out and punish Laius' murderer even if the perpetrator is found within his own household. That may sound democratic and fair and impartial in the carrying out of justice. But it leaves no room for the role of good intentions, limits on human understanding, or mercy.

Hamartia is the Aristotelian term for a literary character's "fatal flaw" which is really more of a mistake than a personal flaw. For example, in the play Oedipus the King, Oedipus' flaw is a lack of knowledge about his true identity, which in the end leads him to murder his father and marry his mother.
