Things like killing the ruler of Rome and throwing the whole empire into turmoil. For their argument they argued that because they loved Rome so much, that is why they had to kill Caesar because they could not have a ruler over Rome. Their forefathers had fought for the freedom and republic of Rome and they even killed a guy who tried to be ruler. Brutus and Cassius had the right idea in trying to protect the republic but they didn’t think it through enough and that is where their plan failed. Caesar was given a crown three times and the people wanted him to have it, but all three times he rejected it to look good in front of the people.
This is confirmed by Gatsby saying “her voice is full of money,” her obsession with money suggests why she stays in her miserable marriage with Tom Buchanan (115). However, Gatsby’s optimism and naivety lead him to conclude that he can win her over with his new found fortune. Unfortunately, his failure to see the irony in his situation is what ultimately leads him to his demise. The purity of the green light is a direct contradiction of the impure, self centered and materialistic woman Daisy truly is. Gatsby’s eagerness to accumulate wealth to enter Tom and Daisy’s world is also a clear violation of his pure dream; in reality their world is despicable and not the paradise that Gatsby imagines it to be.

In one scene Mercutio is basically fed up with Tybalt so he fights him on Romeo’s behave. “ . .
Another reason why Brutus could be a patriot because he said he no matter what he would die for Rome making it a better place. What makes this statement invalid is that the people of Rome would probably prefer Brutus suffering in prison for the rest of his life facing what he has done like a man, instead of being a coward and killing himself before he was captured. I believe Brutus is a betrayer for the reason he killed not only his closest friend, but Caesar the soon to be mighty leader of Rome. Already killing a friend of yours who trusted you to be at their very side, shows how much of a coward Brutus was. Another thing is the people he decided to collaborate with had a totally different motive of killing Caesar.

Many of the conspirators kill Caesar out of envy and greed, while only Brutus did it out of love for Rome. Brutus follows the code of honor. Brutus betrays his friend, Julius Caesar, for the good of Rome. After the conspirators kill Caesar, Brutus, Cassius, and Antony make a funeral speech. Brutus says “With this I depart: that, as I slew my best lover for the good of Rome, I have the same dagger for myself when it shall please my country to need my death.” (III, ii, Li.
Macbeth’s ambitious nature was the catalyst for the deaths of many characters, including his own. At first, in order to gain absolute power, Macbeth performed regicide to become King and receive the top position on the ‘Great Chain of Being.’ However, it was found that he was afterwards plagued with insecurity, as he claimed, ‘To be thus is nothing, but to be safely thus.’ Macbeth would be unsatisfied until he had absolute security over his power. As Macbeth’s insecurity and fear of losing power grew, the degree of his violence amplified. It drove him to the murder of his own friend, Banquo, the murder of the Macduff family, which involved innocent women and children, and in the end, another civil war. In addition, Macbeth’s naivety was also responsible for the tragedies, and his own downfall.
In the first Act money is used as something that helps friendship. Antonio uses his wealth to help his friend Bassanio. However money becomes a much more negative theme later in the play. It is the reason Antonio enters the bond with Shylock and almost loses a pound of flesh(and therefore his life). Money is also a factor in Shylock’s lust for revenge.
