What are 3 reasons brutus is the tragic hero in julias ceasar?
From Shmoop Lit/Julius Caesar We can always trust Brutus to have honest intentions, guided by his love of Rome, even if it means turning against his friends. Brutus, like any protagonist, has a flaw. He trusts too much, and can’t tell a mean hand when he’s been dealt it. Brutus can see some troubles, like when Cassius accepts a bribe or Caesar aspires to tyranny, because those actions are pretty clearly problematic. It’s the more subtle stuff that’s lost on Brutus: he can’t see below the surface of Antony’s pledged loyalty, which is really planned treachery. Brutus wouldn’t betray the trust of an honorable man (and he knows himself to be an honorable man), and he assumes, fatally, that he can hold Antony to the same standard.
