Question 9 • [ELA10] ELA 10, Sem 2 (26-27)

Which statement gives evidence for Brutus's tragic flaw in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar?

Answer
A
Brutus is easily manipulated and persuaded by others.
B
Brutus finds honor in taking his life when his armies are defeated.
C
Mark Antony decides to go to war against the conspirators to avenge Caesar.
D
The audience pities Brutus because he has good intentions but is still defeated.

Explanation

Brutus’s tragic flaw is that he is too trusting and can be persuaded by others, which leads him to make poor decisions. For example, Cassius manipulates him into joining the conspiracy against Caesar. This makes A, “Brutus is easily manipulated and persuaded by others,” the best evidence of his flaw. The other choices describe events or the audience’s response, not the flaw itself.
