There is no such thing as a man without a flaw. Brutus is no exception his tragic flaw is his loyalty to the people. Brutus’s flaw could be an asset, if he wasn’t so easily manipulated by Cassius. Loyalty is a great characteristic for a leader, not a follower, like Brutus.
At the beginning of the play, before Caesar falls, we see Cassius start to sway Brutus with his words of how it would benefit all Romans if Caesar was no more. As the play progresses it’s discovered that since their little chat Cassius, so determined to get what he wants, forges letters and has them delivered to Brutus all saying to the same extent that Caesar needs to be stopped. The conspiracy, finally joined by Brutus, forms a plan to attack and kill Caesar at the capital.
