The character trait that is revealed about the emperor throughout the story is that he is gullible. On page three of the short story is says, “How is this?” said the Emperor to himself. “I can see nothing! This is indeed a terrible affair! Am I a simpleton, or am I unfit to be an Emperor? That would be the worst thing that could happen—Oh! The cloth is charming,”said he, aloud. “I approve of it completely.” He smiled most graciously and looked closely at the empty looms. No way would he say that he could not see what two of his advisors had praised so much. He is too worried about not being able to see the clothes that he allows himself to become vulnerable and allow the thieves/loomers to trick him into giving all his money to them to make him “invisible” clothes.
