Q:
What does They say Icarus' doom was his pride. mean?
A:
“Doom” usually means reason for failure and pride means how highly you think of yourself (I don’t know if you watch anime, but Bakugo, from Boku No Hirro Akademia, is an example of someone with too much pride), so it would mean that icarus had too much pride and that caused his failure, for example, mabey icarus had so much pride that he didn’t think anyone else was good enough to be his friend, and then that made him lonely since he had nobody to talk to, if he didn’t have so much pride, he would’ve been able to be friends with more people, and be less lonely, so, his doom was his pride.
