So something i think i noticed with game of thrones is that each character seems to have an tragic flaw that could be or is their tragic downfall. Whether it is a good or bad trait (morally) it is their inevitable weakness. George R.R. Martin seems to punish people for not being purely and perfectly rational, for having a conscience or being angry. For having a weakness. I have only read as far as the show. But i have some thoughts
People Who have big flaws that I think /could will be their downfall:
Daenerys: Her pride is very strong, she is rash and emotional, could come back to bite her (also her lust for power, which almost everyone has)
Petyr Baelish: I thought petyr was the best candidate to "win" the game because he was so purely rational and deceitful, but i think his lust for sansa, to recreate Catelyn will be his downfall. Also lust for Power
Stannis: Lust for power, to the poiunt where he does evil sorcery and commits fratricide
Jaime: lust for Cersei, incest, thats it, if he gets rid of her he's a golden candidate to come out strong
Brienne: Honor, she's a ned stark level of honorable
Cersei: Spite, possessiveness
Ramsay: Desire for approval, violence/cruelty
Arya: Desire for vengeance
Tommen: Innocence/compassion
Margaery: Lust for power
Theon: Lust for power/desire approval already basically killed him
People who have small flaws i don't think are downfall worthy:
Tyrion: His size, and his pride caused him to almost get executed, but they are only arised under drastic circumstances
Jon Snow: He has the same honor as a ned stark, but he has broken honor before and seems to be pretty logical, his goodness is his flaw but he isn't the same archetype as brienne or ned, he's more dirty
Lord Varys: Desire to serve realm/desire to be treacherous, he seems to enjoy playing with the game but he doesn't have any flaws in common with other people
Sansa: She's already been punished severly for wishful thinking and dreaminess, she seems to be quite the survivor at this point
Already Dead people's flaws:
Eddard Stark: Honor/Morals
Lysa: Insanity possessiveness crazy love for petyr
Shae: manipulate people's emotions, she is manipulative and insincere, this is the root cause of her death
Tywin: hatred for tyrion, or disgust with his own son, his mistreatment ends up being his downfall, his lack of compassion. It could alsoo be a product of the death of his wife who he loved. His desire for legacy turns people against him.
Oberynn: pride obviously
Ygritte: love for jon snow, literally in the show (not the book) causes her to halt and lose her guard and get killed, her decency is a downfall
Robb Stark: Love, had he not fallen in love and broken his vow their might be a different man on the iron throne.
Catelyn Stark: Being a crazy mother.
Robert Barathion: Gluttony and Alcholism, carelessness
Khal Drogo: Pride, always having to exert dominance caused the blade to cut him
Viserys Targaryen: Lust for Power
Renly Barathion: Lust for power, even against his own brother
Joffrey: Anger/Brutality/Abuse of power
Xaro (rich black dude from Qarth: Lust for power
The Mountain: Desire to be brutal
