Julius Caesar Flaws

In The tragedy of Julius Caesar, caesar could never possibly be known as a tragic hero due to his major flaws that lead to his downfall and assassination. Most people thought brutus was the antagonist but that's not true. But brutus was the underdog protagonist of the play. Caesar was liked by many but many never seen his flaws that overwhelmed him and cause himself to be assassinated. brutus was the overseen tragic hero who wasn't superior to everyone and they thought he was bad but what he actually saved rome from getting a leader who could possibly abuse his power. His tragic flaw and downfall was killing caesar even though it was for the better for rome but he decided to kill himself.
Brutus’s action was to help protect rome from a leader who would abuse his power but citizens never saw how he couldn't be a good leader. Brutus discussed his assassination with cassius who is a long time friend of caesar but also thinks he has too much power. Nevertheless Brutus’s actions could be justified because he knew caesar becoming a leader would be a very bad thing. And disagrees with antony crowning caesar instead of himself. He

thinks it’d be selfish if he says he's the one who should be crowned instead of caesar. “I do fear the people choose caesar for their king”(1.2.78-79). He knows what caesar could be capable of if he becomes king and he doesn’t want that happening so he decides to make sure himself that it doesn't happen.
Brutus’s tragic flaw could be him jumping to conclusions which made him make a bad decision and killed caesar. He could of chose another option instead of jumping straight to killing him. His tragic flaw of jumping to conclusions basically lead to his downfall. If he didn’t jump to conclusions maybe he would of been wrong about caesar. Rome might of been perfectly fine with him ruling.
“Then he offered it to him again; then he put it by again; but to my thinking, he was very loath to lay his fingers off it”(1.2.239-241). brutus’s edgeness pushed him to jumping to clusions doubtedly leading to his tragic flaw and his downfall. It eventually lead to his death and basically failing.
Brutus killing himself was to justify killing caesar because of him thinking over his actions were wrong and he should of done something else to keep the power hungry leader from abusing his power. Brutus try to persuade the citizens that killing caesar was for the better for rome. He was trying to prove to people that caesar was bad and no good for rome. “The ghost of Caesar hath appeared to me Two several times by night; at Sardis once, And this last night in Philippi fields. I know my hour is come”(5.5.16-19). Shakespeare was trying to prove that brutus killing himself could be justified by him killing caesar without really thinking consequences of killing the leader of rome and what it could bring.
Some people might think caesar was the tragic hero in the story but he had major flaws that lead to his downfall.

Most people thought he was amazing but actually people saw a different caesar. caesar made it seem like he didn’t want to be crown but he did that to make people think he didn’t want to be crown but in reality he did. “He put it on for the third time by; and still as he refused it, the rabblement hooted, and clapped their chopt hands, and threw up their sweaty nightcaps, and uttered such deal of stinking breath because caesar refused the crown, that it had almost, choked caesar; for he swounded and fell down at it”(1.2.242-248). People are wrong because they didn’t see a side of caesar that brutus did and knew he’d possibly abuse his power. So Brutus decided to take rome into his hand and kill caesar

himself.
Most people think brutus was the antagonist in the story but what he did was for the better of everyone from getting a ruler who would of possibly abused his power and make wrong choices. Brutus killing caesar was justified by him seeing a side of brutus that not everyone seen and he knew it wouldn't bring rome anything good with a ruler who would abuse his power. Answering this question is very important, many people just figure caesar was the tragic hero since the story is about him but that’s not true. If people read carefully to actually get to know about brutus they would realize that brutus killing caesar was for the better for everyone. Most people was uneducated and not realize that brutus could be justified.
