Jordan Sabari Mr. Strazulla Period 1 10/13/13 Julius Caesar In the play Julius Caesar, Brutus was considered to be a noble man. He did what he thought was right for the city of Rome. Unfortunately, he killed Julius a good friend to him I believe the route he took was not the right choice. In Shakespeare’s play, Julius Caesar, Brutus is possessed with a honorable stature and does not back down from his beliefs. The question everyone is asking is what Brutus does make him noble or an honorable stature.
Brutus was highly regarded and loved by the people of Rome. However, Julius Caesar was also a beloved man of Rome during this time. Brutus had his reasons for killing Caesar, but were they just reasons? Some may feel that Brutus from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar is a dishonorable man; Brutus's honorable character is displayed through the citizens' love for him, his desire to better Rome, and his logical reasoning for taking Caesar's life.
Brutus, an honorable person, was accused of being a bad person because of Cassius. Brutus really is honorable and loyal, but the bad thing was that he made himself look bad which was his fault for being so gullible. There's a reason Antony calls Brutus the "noblest Roman,” he stands up for what he believes in, risks his life for Rome, and doesn't seem to be concerned with personal
List of characters in Julius Caesar Play Brutus - A supporter of the republic who believes strongly in a government guided by the votes of senators. While Brutus loves Caesar as a friend, he opposes the ascension of any single man to the position of dictator, and he fears that Caesar aspires to such power. Brutus’s inflexible sense of honor makes it easy for Caesar’s enemies to manipulate him into believing that Caesar must die in order to preserve the republic. While the other conspirators act out of envy and rivalry, only Brutus truly believes that Caesar’s death will benefit Rome. Unlike Caesar, Brutus is able to separate completely his public life from his private life; by giving priority to matters of state, he epitomizes Roman virtue.
Marcus Brutus was in fact one of the conspirators that murdered Caesar. However, his actions are justified because he makes his decision with Rome's best interests in mind. One of Brutus' characteristics that plays a key part in this is his extraordinary patriotism. Brutus is shown as an influential man who loves his country and will do just about anything to protect it. Unlike the other conspirators, Brutus was not power hungry nor did he choose to kill Caesar for personal gain and selfish desires.
He hath brought many captives home to Rome whose ransoms did the general coffers fill: Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept: Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is a honourable man. By this it shows that Antony is intelligent and has courage for he mocks Brutus and his accusations. And it shows how he can manipulate the crowd by telling of Caesars wonderful accomplishments. Antony then shows his anger towards the conspirators by getting the mob to release their anger by rioting and going out and killing the conspirators.
Brutus was a betrayer. They might think that Brutus was a patriot because he was made to believe that he was the one to save his country and was the noblest of all men. But he betrays his friend Cassius because he believes he is better than everyone else because a few people think that he should be king and not Caesar. Brutas acts like Caesar’s friend and then kills him because Brutas felt that he would be more fit as a ruler. So in the end he follows through with his plan and betrays and kills Caesar.
Brutus, the honorable man In Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, Brutus, one of the key conspirators in the murder of Caesar, was an honorable man. Brutus had an internal conflict; he could either be loyal to hisfriend Caesar, or to Rome. He was honorable because he betrayed his friend out of the love for the greater good & the Republic. Brutus was honorable because he did what he thought wasright, and for that Brutus deserved honor. Throughout Julius Caesar there are many examples of Brutus displaying his honor.
In addition to pathos he says “not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more”, this an example of pathos because he shows love to Caesar and Rome. This part is effective because he makes tells the citizens that he did it for Rome and makes them feel that he loved them. He also says that if he had offended anyone that they should use the knife they used to kill Caesar and go with him, this is pathos because it creates fear of Brutus among the people. This is effective because he makes the citizens fear that if they disagree they should die too. Furthermore he says “who here is so rude that will not be a
Although Brutus initially was the approval of the Roman citizens Antony’s sarcastic speech made the Romans second guess if the assassination of Caesar was right. In the speech Mark Antony gave in Act 3 Scene 2 he was speaking about Caesar being ambitious and Brutus being an honorable man but keeps repeating it in a sarcastic tone. For instances Antony said “But Brutus says he is ambitious and Brutus is a honorable man”, then again Brutus said “Yet Brutus says he was ambitious and Brutus is an honorable man” because it’s repeated a couple throughout Antony’s speech. As well in Act 3 Scene 2 Brutus said “And for my sake, stay here with Antony Do grace to Caesar’s corpse, and grace his speech. Tending to Caesar’s glories, which Mark Antony By our permission is allowed to make.
