Now you don't necessarily need to look at Caesar... what about Brutus. Please comment with the Character, their flaw and a little explanation as to why. en-us 2021-07-26 23:14:08 UTC 2021-07-26 23:44:34 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f913.png https://padlet.com/samanthaelderton4/z3bu6vg0ut9xdo5n/wish/1661455811 Rigid idealism, poor judgement, guilt, and his hunger for honour are some of Brutus's most fatal flaws. He is often completely blind to other's ulterior motives, and this leads to his downfall. ]]> 2021-07-26 23:26:21 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthaelderton4/z3bu6vg0ut9xdo5n/wish/1661455811 https://padlet.com/samanthaelderton4/z3bu6vg0ut9xdo5n/wish/1661456113 Poor judgment was his fatal flaw as it caused him to put his mind in the wrong place and to work with the conspirators. He was easily swayed by Cassius who was hungry for power while Brutus himself wanted the best for Rome.

His commitment to his own principles/code led him to unconsciously become a hypocrite. He believes what the conspirators say are true, and foolishly joins forces against his friend for the sake of Rome.]]> 2021-07-26 23:28:50 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthaelderton4/z3bu6vg0ut9xdo5n/wish/1661457145 https://padlet.com/samanthaelderton4/z3bu6vg0ut9xdo5n/wish/1661458391 He was conflicted in his loyalty for Ceasar, who trusted him and for Rome, where he had strong morals to prevent the country from a monarchy. His poor judgement had forced him to fall to the temptation of Cassius and his group, who had ulterior motives, which eventually resulted in Brutus' downfall. ]]> 2021-07-26 23:31:05 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthaelderton4/z3bu6vg0ut9xdo5n/wish/1661458391 https://padlet.com/samanthaelderton4/z3bu6vg0ut9xdo5n/wish/1661458981 WAS in a high position, but his fatal flaw was his arrogance

His fall is made even more apparent by this fact. We can see a clash between his morals which leads to his poor judgement between 'right' and 'wrong'.

Walter's actual destruction is inevitable from the start as he is diagnosed with cancer, so the focus is placed on the importance of Walter's family and his ambitions to protect and provide for them. (Mini Spoiler) The series follows a general tragedy arc which ultimately ends in the destruction of the things that Walt holds closest, leaving him trapped in a lonely state. ]]> 2021-07-26 23:35:07 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthaelderton4/z3bu6vg0ut9xdo5n/wish/1661460684 https://padlet.com/samanthaelderton4/z3bu6vg0ut9xdo5n/wish/1661460704 Brutus' flaw was that he was easily manipulated as well as his poor judgement because I think he was truly convinced by everyone else that killing Caesar was right and that it was for the betterment of rome. ]]> 2021-07-26 23:35:10 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthaelderton4/z3bu6vg0ut9xdo5n/wish/1661460704 https://padlet.com/samanthaelderton4/z3bu6vg0ut9xdo5n/wish/1661460992 I think Brutus too, and imo his fatal flaw was being too trusting of the people - he underestimated the fact that the public changes its mind easily, so even though he thought he was doing the right thing, Antony was able to convince the public otherwise.
