Character Analysis Of Julius Caesar

In his soliloquy, Antony praised Caesar’s great personality but at the same time, he would keep saying positive things about Brutus. An example is when he says, “He was my friend, faithful and just to me; / But Brutus says he was ambitious, / And Brutus is an honorable man.” (3.2.85-87). The way in which he spoke and by telling the citizens the context of Caesar’s will, turned the mob against Brutus and the rest of the conspirators. The anger possessed by the countrymen can be shown when a plebeian says, “Most noble Caesar! We’ll revenge his death!” (2.2.244). This betrayal by Antony caused Brutus to break off their friendship.

Although the play Julius Caesar is about the character Julius Caesar, his reign and the conspiracy that led to his assassination, one cannot dispute the fact that more importance is placed on the character, Brutus. Brutus is Caesar’s best friend and is well-regarded and honored by the people of Rome because of his impeccable character.
