Julius Caesar: Brutus’ Character Flaw Brutus, the tragic hero in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, possesses a character flaw that is both good and bad. His character flaw is his noble blindness, which causes him to trust easily. His noble blindness has its good and bad traits and contributes to his downfall as well. By trusting people easily, his noble blindness ultimately brings Brutus to his death. Easily giving his trust is a good quality because he gains other’s trust just as easily. This is shown throughout the whole play because Caesar never expresses a feeling of mistrust towards Brutus. Cassiu
