Mattie Hall · Answer 1

The tragic flaw he revealed is his overconfidence in himself.

Explanation:

His overconfidence is shown by him thinking that the people he murder will never come back to threaten him until the forest of Birnam gets up and moves, and that he will always be king for his entire natural life.
