How Did Julius Caesar Betrays

Brutus was in fact a betrayer, and while he did feel sympathy for Caesar after he died, he killed him along with the other conspirators and even started a war of sorts in Rome, causing many to fall in battle- himself included. While Brutus was persuaded by fake letters, no man should be as gullible as him to completely switch sides on only the basis of three anonymous letters that were stuck to his window. Brutus was a villain who felt that he was the hero, more concerned about the safety of the government he loved rather than the friend that he loved.

The death of Julius Caesar was a bitter and gruesome one. He died by the hand of his friend Brutus and his own group of senators who badly mutilated his body. His last words were , “Et Tu Brutus” ? meaning you too Brutus. This was a grave mistake on the part of the assassins because the people of Rome loved Caesar. According to the 1st century article on Julius Caesar, Caesar always took care of his soldiers even the ones that weren’t serving and he gave them all land. Julius Caesar was also loved by Romans because he took care of his people allocating land to every citizen of Rome. Caesar was a hero to the many people of Rome. He was a successful general, a people person, and an intelligent dictator.

     In the play, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, William Shakespeare shows how friends often betray each other. Julius Caesar is about to be crowned king of Rome, when some well-known Romans decide that it is not a good idea for this to happen. They form a conspiracy and kill Caesar. Brutus, an honorable Roman and a very good friend of Caesar’s, betrays Caesar by killing him for the good of Rome. Antony, Caesar’s best friend and another honorable Roman, betrays Brutus by turning against the conspirators. Cassius, a respected Roman, and Brutus betray each other by arguing and destroying their friendship. All this betraying lead to many deaths in the play.

In his own way, Brutus was a patriot. He had to murder his dear friend Caesar for the sake of his beloved Rome. Everything he did, every action, every speech, every thought was for Rome. “Brutus' love to Caesar was no less than his.” He did a hard painful thing in killing Caesar, but he did it for his true love: Rome. “And therefore think him as a serpent's egg, Which, hatched, would, as his kind, grow mischievous, And kill him in the shell.” However, when Brutus spoke these fateful words he showed his true colors. He killed Caesar out of his own fear. Because Brutus was afraid of a new leader, he committed a terrible act of murder.

Tom Cochrane once said “ Tragedy in life normally comes with betrayal and compromise, and trading on your integrity and not having dignity in life. That’s really where failure comes.” In “ Julius Caesar”, Brutus plays a big role in the betrayal of caesar being part of a plan to kill Caesar. Moreover, Brutus put off that he was for the People of Rome, but the deeper the play goes the more suspicion of Brutus’s true objective comes into play. Brutus was naive in believing Cassius and his moral judgement was off. All in all, brutus betrayed Caesar.

    Shakespeare’s tragedy, Julius Caesar, displays Brutus as a tragic hero, blinded loyalty and devotion. Brutus's heroic belief of honor and virtue was so powerful that it drove him to perform villainous actions and lead to his destruction.

The least honorable character of Julius Caesar is Cassius. He killed Caesar out of jealousy, convincing others to join him. Cassius was jealous of him because Caesar is worshiped by many. Cassius is not only jealous of Caesar, but he also hates him. The people bow down to him as if he is a god when he’s not. Cassius claims that he saw him shake when he was struck with a fever, yet he acts high and mighty like it never happened. Cassius felt that he needed to kill him for “the sake of Rome.”

Brutus had to stop the friendship with Caesar in order to not cause conflict between the conspirators and their plan to kill Caesar. This shows that Caesar was not an average man that could be killed easy. A group of people had to come up with a whole plan just to get rid of him so that he could not ruin the future of Rome. Right before Caesar was killed he made a very strong and powerful decision to continue to allow the Cimber to be banished.

As Brutus explains as to why he killed Caesar the citizens start to be on brutus's side because he said “if I had not kill him they all would rather have caeser living and they all die slaves”-Logic. Even though it was a hard decision for him to make he made the right one and it was because he loved him that he killed him Brutus loved Caesar more than anyone else, but he love rome more and was willing to make the sacrifice to save the people of rome from

I am an enemy of Caesar. Although we used to tolerate eachother personally, we don’t agree on many things now, since he has become more interested in personal gain than helping Rome succeed. For example, the republic has worked for many years. Why twist it into a knot. Each and every

Brutus is a betrayer who believed he was a true great. He let others persuade him to commit a treasonous assassination when he could have simply done his own research. There are those who feel Brutus was a patriot because he was willing to assassinate his own friend for the good of a country. Brutus believed he knew what was right.

The surprise by Caesar shows that he would never think that Brutus would be the person to betray him. Caesar is shocked when he sees Brutus come down on him with that sharp dagger, and you can almost see the astonishment in his voice when he says “ET tu, Brute” (III, I, 77). When we are betrayed by someone there is a sinking feeling within are body that just feels like our hearts just drops. A good example of this “Stabbing in the back” would be from the movie Golden Eye from the classic series of James Bond. Towards the end of the film, Bond finds out that he was betrayed by one of his closest allies, named Alec Trevelyan, who he fought with in battle. Bond was so surprised that the person who he fought and blead for would be the person to

Catharine MacKinnon once said, “It's particularly hard to take being stabbed in the back close to home. There's always a feeling of betrayal when people of your own group oppose you.” In “Julius Caesar”, Brutus decides to join the conspiracy against Caesar. This in itself is a huge form of betrayal. The further into the play, the more suspicion there is with Brutus.

A motive to kill one’s best friend requires deep thinking and a reasonable intention. Brutus, Caesar’s best friend, has taken into consideration why he thinks killing Caesar is necessary. Although Brutus is Caesar’s best friend, he has to come to conclusion that murdering him is his final decision when he asserts, “Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome

William Shakespeare's play, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, was mainly based on the assassination of Julius Caesar. The character who was the mastermind behind the assassination was, ironically, Marcus Brutus, a senator and close friend to Julius Caesar. But what would cause a person to kill a close friend? After I examined Brutus' relationship towards Caesar, his involvement in the conspiracy and his importance to the plot it all became clear. Brutus had one particular reason for killing Caesar and that was for the good of the people and the republic. Brutus had no personal reason for killing Caesar. Some of his most admirable traits were his morality and leadership skills.
