What are Brutus character flaws?
That Caesar was ambitious and a bit arrogant. He also trusted in the fact that the Roman military would keep him in control of Rome's affairs.

Cassius manipulates Brutus into participating in the plot to kill Caesar by planting doubts in Brutus' mind about Caesar's intentions. He also flatters Brutus excessively and claims that the people would rather Brutus lead them than Caesar.
What were the tragic flaws in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar?
Caesar was certainly ambitious, arrogant, conceited, selfish, cynical and ruthless. It was for these characteristics that Brutus joined the conspiracy against him, particularly his ambition, as he says in his speech. They are characteristics which Caesar shared with Cassius and Antony and Octavian, so by rights they should also be Cassius's and Antony's and Octavian's tragic flaws. Except that this play ends well for Antony, and Octavian goes on to become the deified Caesar Augustus, first Emperor of Rome.What you should be getting out of this is that "tragic flaws" are ideas made up by unimaginative English teachers to annoy students of Shakespeare. Bad things do not always happen to people because they are flawed, either in literature or real life. We do not feel sorry for people who tragedy strikes because we feel that they are morally inferior in some way. Indeed, such people are less sympathetic. Check out Shakespeare's tragedy Timon of Athens if you want a story where the "tragic hero" really is flawed. He's really unlikable; there's a reason why you are not studying Timon in school.Basically, this "tragic flaw" game is 100% hindsight and 0% insight. Something bad happened to someone--we look through his actions which led up to it, fasten on what appears to be a leading characteristic, and call it a "flaw". It doesn't matter that the same characteristic leads others to be blindingly successful. Henry V is one of Shakespeare's greatest heroes, who is as ambitious as Macbeth, as ruthless as Caesar, and as decisive as Othello (and also as easily manipulated, if it is churchmen doing the manipulating). Sure, we can say that Caesar's tragic flaw is that he is ambitious and ruthless, and then we turn around and say that Brutus's tragic flaw is that he is NOT ambitious and NOT ruthless.Unfortunately, this rubbish spoils Shakespeare (whose plays are actually delightful, moving, and quite easy to understand) for far too many people.

What are Brutus' flaws?
He was a good man. He was compassionate, and did not want to cause unnecessary death. He was altruistic and was more concerned for the well-being of his country than for increasing his own power. If these are flaws, then Jesus had the same flaws.When you look at it this way, there is a lot to be said for the idea that there is no such thing as a "tragic flaw". Bad things don't happen to people in tragedies because they are flawed, or not in good tragedies anyway. Bad things happen to them because they are in the wrong place at the wrong time. Being "the noblest Roman of them all" would normally have made Brutus a hero, as it made his ancestor a hero. But he lived at a time when he was surrounded by cynical, two-faced, devious, grasping and selfish people like Cassius and Antony, and his tragic virtues (they are not flaws) were out of place.
