Hubris is a literary term that refers to excessive pride or overconfidence, particularly the kind that leads a character to disregard warnings or violate moral laws, often resulting in their downfall1.

This concept has its roots in ancient Greek literature and mythology, where characters' hubristic actions against the gods often led to severe consequences2.
