Oedipus' reaction to Teiresias reveals his quick temper and excessive pride.

Monster! your silence would incense a rock.
Will nothing loose your tongue? Can nothing melt you,
Or shake your stubborn silence?

Yes, I am angry, and will not hold my words,
But speak my whole mind. I think you’re the one,
Who planned the crime, and performed it too,
All save the assassination; and if you
Were not blind, I would swear as well
That you alone did the bloody deed.
