"A man cannot become a hero until he sees the root of his own downfall." (Aristotle). It should be noted that the hero's fall is his fault as a result of his free will. His death is sometimes seen as a waste of human potential. His death is usually not a pure loss, because it involves greater knowledge and awareness. In Julius Caesar, William Shakespeare develops Marcus Brutus as the tragic hero whose ambition and naivety in his blind faith in the nobility of man gave him guidance in a series of events that inevitably forced him to succumb to self-destruction. First of all, Brutus is the tragic Hero of the play, as has been said. Now, with the title of tragic hero comes a weakness, a tragic flaw in the character's personality. One of these tragic flaws includes Brutus' ambition. Such as when he joined the conspirators, he took over immediately. When they were thinking of asking Cicero to be one of the conspirators, Brutus did not accept it even though he was the only one who opposed it. “Oh, don't mention it! Let us not break with him, for nothing that other men begin will ever follow.”(Act Brutus2.SC.1). In addition to this Brutus shows his ambition when the news of Octavius ​​and Marcus arrives. Brutus immediately wants to go to Philippi to meet their army there. Yet Cassius provides words of wisdom by telling him, “It is better that the enemy seek us; thus he will waste his means and tire his soldiers... / while we, immobile, are now full of rest, defense and agility. (Cassius 4.3 229-232). Brutus chooses to ignore him and pushes once again to march to Philippi, Cassius relents and they both decide to go. Brutus' ambition will lead him to ruin because, as we know, his ambition will lead him to death, because... in the middle of the paper... the tragic hero comes as follows, 1. He comes from nobility/power, 2 .Has one or more tragic flaws, 3. Has a fall or reversal of power, 4. Reaches a catharsis, and sometimes the final stage is death. At first he had power because he was Caesar's friend. He has tragic flaws, which are ambition and naivety. Just as he has a downfall because the tide has turned against him and he has to abandon Rome and loses his power, respect and honor. Then he has a catharsis where he realizes his mistakes when it was too late and finally succumbs to his emotions which tell him that Caesar was not ambitious and he knows that everything he thought he did for justice and honor was wrong . This ultimately leads him to choose death because he believes this is the most honorable solution and thus ends the Tragic Hero's life. Works Cited Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare
