Death Of Brutus In Julius Caesar

Clearly, Brutus thinks that by killing Antony alongside Caesar, the conspirators will be seen as butchers. Brutus’s idealism backfires against him as Antony later takes revenge against the conspirators for killing Caesar.

Cassius’ flaw is his continuous submission to Brutus. For example, when Cassius tries to convince Brutus that Antony and Caesar should fall together, Brutus, in a weak attempt to curtail violence, insists that they spare Antony. Cassius remains suspicious of Antony but gives in to Brutus’ argument. If they had killed Antony as well as Caesar, Cassius and Brutus would have lived.

Antony says about how Brutus is an honourable man, and how Brutus said that Caesar was ambitious, but Antony talks about all the wonderful things he had done, which don’t seem very ambitious. Antony talks about how even when presented with the crown, the crown of Rome, he had refused three times. ( THREE? I couldn’t even last one, but alright.) and how this was not

Brutus killed himself because he loved Caesar and wanted him to finally rest in peace.

William Shakespeare focuses the play on Brutus’s choices even after the assassination of Caesar. The first bad decision of Brutus was trusting the conspirators, which shows his bad judge of character. This was bad because their intentions for killing Caesar were not for justice. It was only because they were jealous of Caesar and his leadership. They did not like the possibility of Caesar becoming the ruler of Rome. Brutus was the only one who did not kill him out of jealousy, which Antony realizes towards the end of the play when he states, “ This was the noblest Roman of them all. All the rest of the conspirators acted out of jealousy of great Caesar.” (5.5.73-75) Another bad choice Brutus made was letting Antony speak at Caesar’s funeral. Antony was going to tell the truth about everything. Before the funeral Antony tells Octavius’s servant, “There I’ll use my speech to test what the people think of these bloody men’s cruel action..” (3.1.307-309) Antony must have been the most angry about Caesar being gone. It’s not surprising for him to be wanting to tell everyone the

To begin with, Brutus is too trusting of those around him. Brutus’s friend Cassius recognizes that Brutus is driven by what is best for Rome. Because of this Cassius devises a plan to plant a fake petition from the people of Rome stating that Caesar needs to be executed. Brutus never even questions that the petition is real. After reading the petition Brutus’ response is:

Cassius told Brutus, that he should kill Antony, because Antony was the weakest link out of everyone. Naively, Brutus did not listen to him, which caused more trouble. Again, Cassius also warned him to not let Antony speak at the funeral, however, Brutus ignored his warning. If Antony never spoke at Caesar's funeral, there would have never been that much chaos. The conspirators would have gotten away with murdering Caesar. Brutus' honor was the cause of his downfall. The pandemonium that ensued could have been prevented, if Brutus listened to Cassius. This clearly illustrates that Brutus was very naïve in his leadership

First of all, Brutus betrayed Julius Caesar and was responsible for the death of Julius Caesar.Brutus even tried to persuade Julius Caesar to go to the Senate house after his wife had a dream and tried to warn him and stop him from going to the Senate.According to exhibit C, Julius already knew about the alleged plans about that he was going to be killed at the Sanet. Eyewitness places Brutus at the crime

Cassius' loyalty line goes the other way. In the beginning he is out to set himself up in a position of power, and through Caesar's death he continues to act out of self-interest. By the end of the play, however, he has developed a sense of loyalty to Brutus and to Titinius. Brutus's pattern lies somewhere in between Antony's and Cassius's. In the beginning of the play most students feel that Brutus' loyalty is ambiguous. Although he seems loyal to Caesar, he is swayed by flattery to himself. By 2.1, when he makes the decision to participate in the murder, Brutus seems to be acting out of self-interest, though he disguises it in a rationalization of the good of the country. I find that students often engage in a really interesting discussion of the subtle shifts in Brutus' use of language; he shifts, for instance, to the use of the royal "we." By the end of the play Brutus, like Cassius, develops a sense of loyalty to his new comrades, and his last words, like Cassius's, are a self-condemning recognition of

citizens of Rome. After Brutus' speech explaining that Caesar needed to be slain for the good of Rome, Antony cleverly manages to

Cassius was fueled by jealousy and wanted to murder Caesar for selfish reasons. Brutus was bound to decide whether his loyalties lied with his friend or his country, the Roman Republic. Although Brutus' relationship with Caesar is strong, his relationship with the people of Rome is stronger. Brutus loves Caesar as a friend but does not want anyone to become so powerful that they are able to become a supreme ruler over the people of Rome.

Brutus commits three costly mistakes during the play. The first mistake that he makes is that he participates in the assassination of Julius Caesar. “People, and senators, be not affrighted.

Ultimately, Antony’s success was a result of his rhetoric. “You all did see that on the Lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown, which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition?” (3.2.94-96.), Antony objected.

    In the play Julius Caesar, written and preformed by William Shakespeare, there are many characters, but two, Brutus and Cassius, stood out. The play begins in Rome where a celebration of Julius Caesar's victory over the former ruler of Rome, Pompeii. The victory leads to Caesar's betrayal by his jealous companions. Senators and other high status figures are jealous of Caesar's new and growing power, while others, like Brutus, fear the tyrannical rule Caesar could enforce. The conspirators, Brutus and Cassius being the most important, assassinate Julius Caesar and Marcus Antonius, better known as Antony, and Octavius Caesar, Caesar's heir to the thrown, revenge Caesar's

Brutus permits Antony to make a funeral oration at Caesar’s burial. Again Cassius objects to Antony being allowed to speak for he sees it
