Murder in the Cathedral

What tragic flaw does the character Thomas exemplify in "The Murder in the Cathedral"?

Did Thomas Becket have a tragic flaw? In the classical sense, I suppose you could say that his flaw was pride. However, that pride manifested itself in obedience to the church and fulfilling his responsibility as the leader of the church in England. It was his faithfulness to the church and refusal to do what the king wanted that so angered the king and made him shout the famous line, "Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?"

Is faithfulness a tragic flaw? I think you need to look at the murderers. Their flaw would be ambition and arrogance.
