Need help comparing tragic flaws of Caesar to Richard II


Hello all and thanks for reading my query,
I am working on a second draft of a paper comparing the tragic flaws of Julius Caesar to Richard II. I need help defining what a tragic flaw exactly is and what makes the flaw tragic in both of these plays. I have already come up with the obvious (tyrany, greed, ambition, and lack of perception of their own actions). I need help finding the not so obvious comparable tragic flaws. I have been unable to find anything other than
basic literature book definitions of a tragic flaw and I am looking for something a bit deeper. Any help (even a starting point to do my own research) would really be appreciated, I am not a lazy student, just one that is frustrated. I have limited access to a computer so please e-mail me at Joebarb@aol.com where it will be saved for me. Thanks all.

Sincerely,
Joseph
