What is Brutuss tragic flaw (tragedy of julius caesar)?
Brutus’s tragic flaw was that he was too trusting. He frankly and honestly felt that he had had to kill Caesar in order to save Rome from tyranny. He trusted Antony not to blame the conspirators in his speech at Caesar’s funeral. Antony broke that promise and got Brutus and the others into deep trouble. Brutus also trusted Cassius. Cassius only asked Brutus to be a part of the conspiracy as a way of getting closer to Caesar. He never suspected that Brutus would take over the group and become their leader. Cassius thought that he was getting someone to lead the men, but that he would still be the head man. Brutus, however, took all power away from Cassius, and Cassius no longer had any say in the happenings of the group. lthough Cassius possesses keen political insight, he is not a good politician, for he is too motivated by personal feelings and gives up too quickly. He clearly understands that Antony is a risk to his conspiratorial plan, but he submits to the inferior judgment of Brut
