    Sakespear's The Tragedy of Julius Caesar holds two possible candidates for a tragic hero, however Brutus fits the persona best. The true definition of a tragic hero, as found by Aristotle, is a character who falls from a high standing to a low standing. They suffer enourmous loss, but are eventually enlightened of their own flaw or flaws. Initially the play begins with Caesar returning to Rome from defeating Pompey. Meanwhile, the first seeds of conspiracy are begining to take root. Although Brutus ignores Cassius's chiding to join the conspirators his tragic flaw of being easily molded and persuaded lead him to fall prey and join. As time progresses Brutus makes many grievous errors, and his flawed logic leads him to become bereft of all he once held dear.

They believed in another individual who would be a better leader; Marcus Brutus. Brutus was noble, honorable, and ambitious. He had just enough ambition for him to be a good ruler. This wasn’t the case for Caesar. Caesar wanted so much power and right away too. He had ruled the Roman Empire; which was thought to be the entire world at the time. If there was more power to be absorbed, Caesar would have gone any length to achieve that power. This caused people to be afraid of him, and more importantly; despised him. It was one of his most fatal flaws! (No pun intended) Yes, maybe some people were too blind to see it, but the conspirators who took action, saw it.
