The Tragedy of Gatsby Aristotle said, “A man doesn’t become a hero until he can see the root of his own downfall.” A tragic hero, as defined by Aristotle, must have a flaw or error of judgement, and a reversal of fortune must occur because of the hero’s error.

I think that in the story Julius Caesar that Brutus is a villain because at one point in time Caesar and Brutus were friends and best friends at that.I don't see how you could be a hero if you killed your own friend.I also think he is a dishonorable man because of the actions he made during the story.
