Read the passage from act 2, scene 1, of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar.

BRUTUS. Kneel not, gentle Portia. . . .

You are my true and honourable wife,
As dear to me as are the ruddy drops
That visit my sad heart.

PORTIA. If this were true, then should I know this secret. . . .
Tell me your counsels; I will not disclose 'em.
I have made strong proof of my constancy,
Giving myself a voluntary wound
Here in the thigh. Can I bear that with patience,
And not my husband’s secrets?

Which tragic element reveals the theme that lying to one's spouse can lead to tragedy?

Portia's tragic flaw of lying to her spouse about her secrets contributes to her father’s death by death
Brutus's tragic flaw of being easily manipulated leads to his lying to his wife and her death
Brutus's catharsis of telling his wife how much he honors her leads to her death by death
Portia's catharsis of wounding her thigh leads to her husband’s mistrust of her and her death by death.
