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.
