“Sir, if you don’t mind, I’d love to take my leave now.” “Yes, you may,” he said, then paused. “But just one more thing. If you ever feel alone or depressed… I’m always here. So—do you need a hug?” That sentence right there? It nearly made me lose it. Just when I was beginning to think he was different from his father… he proved he was exactly the same. He had the sweetest words, but they all aimed for bitter motives. But I wouldn't make the same mistake as my mum,I wasn’t going to fall for their charm and kind gestures, instead I would use his weakness, which was his masculine flaw, against him.

Simon did not wait for an answer. He said, "If yes, he's a typical guy born in poverty, with deep-seated insecurities, sensitivities, arrogance, and self-importance. "It's precisely because of these insecurities that he seeks attention and satisfaction through boasting.

Given enough time, he'll undoubtedly make a move on you and the Millers."

he paused and gazed at me. "As for you, your character and personality are nothing to write home about. To make matters worse, you have a lot of terrible vices. I doubt if you have any virtue cos I cannot even think of any. You are lazy, wicked, cruel, arrogant, and ruthless. Maybe there is a virtue that you have that I don't know, so, I will allow you to mention it," he said as he stared steadily at me. I gazed at him and I didn't know what to say. I felt like a fool.

Charlie sighed dejectedly and thought, ‘God is so unfair. Although Jacob was an egoistic boaster who loved to pretend to be an expert despite his lack of knowledge, he was not a bad person overall, only a little cowardly and foolish. However, the accident had caused him to be permanently quadriplegic. If he didn’t do something right now, he would be in misery for the rest of his life.

Behind the grown up woman, AbdulRahman saw a little girl, a broken little girl. Amirah hated feeling weak, she was strong. She'd built up her walls, she'd been weak and that was why Adnan did what he did to her so she built an exterior front but behind it all, she was still that little girl, the sweet shy Amirah that Adnan had taken advantage of. She was broken. She thought she was over it but today her walls crumbled and she'd showed the part of her she'd always kept hidden, the part where she was just a little naive girl.

Tammie asked. "Yes,"I said, reflecting on our high school days. "One of her favorite character flaws was hubris. The heroes who failed in Shakespeare, world mythology, and all other literature lost what was most important to them because of pride. Your hubris is that you are proud and independent and look at any gift or help as a threat to that. Accepting the clothes – either as a gift, as Michael's way of taking care of his family, or simply that Michael wants to make you happy – is the right thing to do."

He could just tell them what it was, it wasn’t hard to understand or onerous to explain. “Hamartia refers to a character’s fatal flaw.” She answered and the darkness in his eyes cleared a little. “And will you please tell us, what exactly is a fatal flaw?” He questioned again. Isis swallowed and tried not to think of her parched lips. “A fatal flaw speaks to a character trait that usually brings about the downfall of a tragic hero or heroine.” She replied and he smiled. “And before you leave, give us an example of a fatal flaw, not using our text.” He commanded and Isis wanted to shrink back from all the glares she was receiving.

Seeing Clayton walk aside and sit down against a pillar, Yrian, Yukha and Taotie looked at each other in confusion. Clayton was the most arrogant and stubborn creature ever.

Now that he had made a mistake, his heart was full of guilt.

After all, he’s a near-flawless man, and I can safely say that any straight woman wouldn’t be able to resist him. ‘However, even though he has plenty of strengths, he also has lots of flaws. For example, though he looks uninterested on the outside, that man can be just as passionate as any of us. In fact, it was that unpredictability that made me afraid to get too close to him at the start. That also made me believe that his feelings for me were only momentary.’

"You must have misunderstood something. I'm not the kind of person you're talking about." Suppressing her anger, the girl tried to explain herself while Ryan shook his head with a mocking smile. Ryan possessed an aura of authority and elegance. He seemed unwilling to yield to or humble himself before anyone. He also didn't listen to others' reasoning or even the truth. Ryan only trusted his own conclusions and deductions. This was Ryan's fatal weakness. Knowing this, Ryan's personality has always been like this, making it very difficult to change.
