Throughout the dramatic literature medium, Brutus experiences many different forms of conflicting perspectives relating to his own sense of identity as well as his relationships to those around him. Brutus’ conflicting perspectives to his own sense of identity are shown in his individual soliloquy, where he states that he is “with himself at war”, reflecting his character’s tendency to be easily manipulated into seeing others’ perspectives rather than his own, causing this conflict.
