* NeverMyFault: The closest we see Fletcher come to taking responsibility for the adverse effects he has on his students is saying that he "made enemies." [[spoiler:He's willing to cover up Sean Casey's suicide, reportedly from depression and anxiety that started when Casey was a student of his, by saying that he died in a car accident. Casey's parents end up getting him fired, and when he later tells this to Andrew,]] he remarks that "why anybody would have anything other than peaches and cream to say about me is a mystery." It's ambiguous whether the comment is a rare (albeit sarcastic) moment of self-awareness from Fletcher or him legitimately unable to fathom that anyone might take issue with his teaching methods.

* ObfuscatingStupidity: Fletcher pretends not to know which of his performers is playing his trombone out of tune so he has a chance to single out the people who don't know if they're in tune or not, which he sees as even worse. [[spoiler:Fletcher feigns ignorance again in the third act, when he knows perfectly well that Andrew got him fired, and later even says, "You think I'm fucking stupid? I know it was you".]]

* HairTriggerTemper: He will pretty much blow up anytime he hears anyone playing even ''slightly'' off-tempo, to the point that the people playing slightly off don't even notice it ''themselves'', and punishes them with [[DisproportionateRetribution profanity-laced tirades and sometimes, even physical abuse]].
