The king rants about how he was a pirate who lost his crew, robbed the night prior, and put ashore off a steamboat moneyless.

In the case of this play, the reader could argue that Eddie's tragic flaw is either denial or, to begin with, the incestuous feelings for his niece, Catherine.

Once again, Eddie's betrayal does both of these things. Firstly, his community was affected because Marco shouted to all the neighbours in the surrounding scene that Eddie killed his children, or so he claimed. Marco made these claims because he was so furious at Eddie’s betrayal and hence wanted to make Eddie seem as a villainous character.
He wanted revenge because he knows Doodle will never be able to do anything a normal person can like run, swim, or climb. James Hurst says in the book “It was bad enough having an invalid brother, but having one who possibly was not all there was unbearable, so I began to make plans to kill him by smothering him with a pillow” (Hurst 385). Doodles brother was embarrassed by Doodle the whole book that he would try and hurt him. In the book doodle said “To discourage his coming with me, I’d run with him across the ends of the ends of the cotton rows and careen him around the corners on two wheels” (Hurst 386). In my life revenge can be bitter sweet in different situations.
