How could Brutus be the tragic hero of Julius Caesar?

If the definition of a tragic hero is a character with a lot of lines who ends up dead at the end of the play, Brutus fits the bill. So for that matter does Cassius. It was not important for Shakespeare to have a tragic hero in every tragedy--that concept arose long after he stopped writing.

Is Creon a tragic figure?

Creon could certainly be a tragic figure as he is in possession of hubris, his pride and arrogance, and high estate, he is the king of Thebes, that he loses due to an error caused by hubris. Creon's error was his refusal of burial to Polyneices, thus breaking one of the 'unwritten laws' of the gods that require the burial of all those who die. In the end his pride and arrogance block him from excepting the wise counsel of those around him to allow the burial and pardon Antigone for burying her brother. This mistake leads to his downfall, the suicides of his son and wife. Creon clearly demonstrates all the aspects of the tragic figure, as defined by Aristotle. This does not exclude Antigone from also being a tragic hero, as she also possessed many of the traits which define the Greek tragic hero.

On the other hand, if a nobleman put out the eye of a commoner, the penalty might be stricter and could involve harsh physical punishment, such as mutilation or even death. The social status of the victim played a significant role in determining the severity of the punishment in such cases.

What is the social hierarchy in feudalism?

Each European nation was ruled by a king. He divided his nation into many smaller pieces, and each one he granted to a nobleman. The nobleman in return had to agree to pay some tax to the king and to fight for him if the king ever went to war. The nobleman was now the king's vassal. Each nobleman could even have his own vassals. The sons of nobleman who had no land often became knights, the highest ranking soldiers. The vast majority of the population, however, were poor serfs. They had to subsistence farm for survival, and pay the nobles above them with part of their crop. If the noble went to war, some of them had to fight as infantry soldiers.
