Adam's good nature and inability to see through Cathy is a weakness because he is always going to be oblivious of the fact that she is truly evil, and thus will not believe anything that others tell him in warning about her. She could take a life, and although it may be the truth, he would not deem the information credible as "his Cathy" is the definition of all that is good and pure. Adam is good at heart, and generous, but in some instances isn't very admirable. He is able to take into his home a complete stranger, who ends up turning his whole world upside down, not heeding the warning of his younger brother (E.O.E 111), all in the name of a love-at-first sight emotion. Although he was doing the right thing by helping out an injured person, he should have called in the authorities to investigate a brutally beaten woman in front of his home. Then again, it is only instinct to sometimes act immediately in the case of an emergency, but this is one he could have waited a while for.
It is Adams emotive behavior that drives him - he wears his feelings on his sleeve. he is easily manipulated because he see the good in everyone first and then questions. Consider all the times that Adam allowed his emotions to drive his flight or fight instinct.
