Honorable In Julius Caesar

In Roman history, some elite men held certain values that they felt strong enough to take their life in order to defend it. In William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, there are certain characters portrayed to show how a person’s values or ideas can change their behavior and influence some significant decisions. The protagonist of the play, Marcus Brutus, supports this thought by having an idealistic view on the world and by showing his patriotism toward Rome. In William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, Shakespeare uses Brutus as an honorable, idealistic man in order to show the depth that a high-class Roman man will go through in order to defend his honor.

Brutus definitely does not show how he is a honorable and loyal person. He focused too much about what he thoughts best for Rome and less about the people. During the play, Brutus also betrayed his wife, Portia. Portia notices something is up with Brutus. When Portia brings it up to Brutus, he will not tell her his plans to murder Caesar. Portia states, “If this were true, then I should know this secret. I grant I am a woman, but withal A woman that Lord Brutus took to wife.” (2.1.290-293). Brutus betrayed Portia by refusing to tell her the secret she begged to hear. She eventually stabs herself, and

“A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions“ -Confucius. This quote is relevant because in Shakespeare’s play, Julius Caesar, Brutus and Antony gave speeches after Caesar’s death. A speaker has to make connections with the audience, use creativity, and have passion. Antony was rhetoric, cunning, and used pathos to connect with the people of Rome. Brutus was also rhetoric, honorable, and used logos and ethos to influence the audience. Overall, Brutus did not influence the crowd like he hoped to. Antony knew how he was going to persuade the people before he gave his speech.

Second, In The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Cassius is even more corrupt than Caesar. For instance, Cassius does what is best for him. For example, after Caesar is killed, Cassius persuades the conspirators that killing Caesar is what people will

Brutus wanting to be very honorable is part of his tragic flaw. He will do crazy stuff just be honorable. While talking with Cassius about why he is not himself, Brutus said “For it let the gods so speed me as I love the name of honor than I fear the name of death” (I.II. 91-92). This quote shows that being honorable is a very big thing for Brutus since he would rather die with honor than die without honor. After talking with Lucius Brutus says, “It must be by his death, and for my part I know no personal cause to spurn at him but

Brutus, Cassius, Caesar, and the other Senators held the power to do things others could not. With this authority came their ability to use poor judgement. In William Shakespeare’s tragic play Julius Caesar the theme Power Corrupts is arrayed thoroughly. Murder, treason, and ethical/moral corruption were three prevalent themes that proved the overall topic of Power Corrupts.

Respect is possessing a deep admiration for a certain person based on their behavior and abilities. When a character earns someone’s respect, it infers they have a healthy friendship or relationship. They know they can trust and also rely on the person. To gain this form of high regard, characters must first gain an understanding for them. Understanding is developing and processing the meaning of character’s words and actions. This helps characters learn about the person’s true nature. In the play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, Brutus’ soldiers bravely go into battle for him and Antony honors the fallen Brutus. Shane is the novel by Jack Schaefer in which both Joe and Bob Starrett learn to see the true values Shane

He's not honorable because of what he did. It doesn't make someone honorable for disliking someone for having power. Trying to have one of his friends kill Caesar is also not an excuse for being honorable. If you want to be honorable you have to most likely be a good person. In my last paragraph I explained what cassius did that makes him not honorable. Cassius is rude he has Brutus plot in to killing Caesar for him. Cassius lies to Brutus about

Justice is often found after a situation has occurred and more times than not it is seen through the eyes of revenge. Marc Antony, the main character, partakes in this reality by trying to get revenge on Julius Caesar’s, Marc Antony’s best friend, death. The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare literally and symbolically delves into the choices that one makes when seeking revenge in the name of justice.

The honorable Brutus’s death is by far the most intriguing. He lead a great life having all the Romans look up to him in admiration, Brutus could make no mistakes. His loving wife Portia had stabbed herself in the leg to prove what a strong woman she was. His beloved friend Caesar trusted Brutus, for he was a nobleman. Brutus even joined forces with Cassius in the Battle of Philippi against Antony and Octavius. What in Brutus’s life could have been so traumatizing that he killed himself?

What makes someone honorable or corrupt? Honor is doing something for moral excellence. Being dishonorable or corrupt is flaunting one’s own abilities for completing a deed. In the play, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, multiple people can qualify as honorable or dishonorable; it just depends on the way you see a situation. As a result, I consider Titinus to be the most honorable and Octavius to be the worst character or the most corrupt.

In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, one must read the text closely to track the shifting motivations and loyalties of each character as the play progresses. An important factor that must be kept in mind while reading is the degree of loyalty, in other words, the degree to which characters act out of a motivation to help others. Throughout the play, each character's current degree of loyalty to others is clearly exhibited by words or behavior – this holds true for the characters of Brutus, Cassius, Antony, Portia, and Calpurnia. The focus on loyalty is critical because before the play ends an even-handed justice is meted out to a number of people who fail to live up to an expected standard of

I am now going to discuss Cassius. I would say that Cassius was a very

I think the noblest character is Antony himself. He always supported Cesar even if it did not seem like it. He took the side of the murders to survive but never forgot what they had done. An example of this is at Cesar's funeral he speaks up against Brutus and everyone else because he was smart he knew everyone there was a supporter of him and Cesar. H was very well with words he managed to turn supporters of the murders against them and he was very ambitious because he didn't let anyone else in on it besides octaves.

Has there been a situation where being noble let actions take over? In Julius Caesar, Brutus is noble, but lets his actions take over. There are many characters who made wrong decisions to gain power. Brutus and Caesar wanted to be leaders, but had to fight for who would become the leader of Rome. Brutus is the noblest Roman of all, this is important because he is showing he has high moral principles and ideas. Brutus has a good reputation and is able to persuade individuals to his ideas. He is a leader that people want to follow because he made multiple impacts on individuals. This could lead to a downfall because he made wrong decisions he thought were the right decisions. Because Brutus is noble in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, he is highly respected, a senator of Rome, and a leader, but these characteristics lead him to not listen to others and believing he is always right.
