Brutus loves Rome and will do anything to keep it safe from the evil of the world. Brutus kills Caesar because he thinks it’s for the best. Brutus believes Caesar would have made the people of Rome slaves if he didn’t kill Caesar. Brutus also cares for his friends and brothers. He gave up when his friends died and killed himself. He rather die than getting paraded through Rome as a prisoner. Brutus even said, “If I should die, I will hold your dagger and do it myself.” Brutus was very noble to Rome, but might not have done the right choices. He went against Antony and Octavius because they aren’t worthy rulers. Antony and Octavius were trying to avenge Caesar then realized they would hold control of Rome. They saw Brutus as a traitor
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.
He believes that he as a general, can calculate everything about the upcoming battle and makes tons of minor mistakes that should have told him that his methods were untrustworthy. Had he of listened to his friend Cassius, who was a seasoned general. Brutus might have avoided the military disaster that was brought about or at least made the battle have less casualties. He also believes that by killing Caesar it will send Rome into a peaceful golden age, but in reality Rome is thrust into upheaval and civil war. In Julius Caesar, the conspirators do not wish that they could act without suffering ill effects, as experienced politicians, they know full well their
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.
First I'm going to talk about Brutus. Brutus was a noble man, loved by everyone: even Caesar. Brutus loved every one as well. This love for every one is the main reason why he helped kill Caesar. He says it himself "If then that friend demands why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer: Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more". Brutus also said, "I weep for him; as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was valiant, I honored him". Another way Brutus shows how he love Rome more then Caesar "he was ambitious" and "I slew him". That shows you how much Brutus loved Caesar and Rome.
Brutus was very loyal to Rome, especially because one of his ancestors “would have brooked th’ eternal devil to keep his state in Rome as easily as a king” (I,ii,159-161). Lucius Junius Brutus had a role in establishing the Republic of Rome after expelling the last king of Rome, which put pressure on Brutus to maintain his family’s honor. Although Caesar was his best friend, Brutus became concerned after multiple people had informed him of Caesar’s questionable actions which were considered ambitious. Convinced, Brutus joined the plan to kill Caesar after he became more aware of Caesar’s actions.
Brutus's soliloquy shares that he has “no personal cause” and is doing what is best for Rome (lll, ii). However, his reasons are much deeper when comparing what he says to his actions. Even though Brutus was manipulated into killing Caesar, his desire of being on top overwhelmed him. Brutus being oblivious to his egocentric ways becomes his downfall. He wants to be the ruler of Rome,
Brutus knew how loyal Antony was to Caesar and at this point Antony was in shock and could have acted out rashly. Brutus was rather, trying to calm Antony. As seen in other stories and movies, a person is more likely to try to avenge a loved one due to their death. To help calm Antony, Brutus said: “…you’ve only seen our hands and their bloody business; you haven’t looked into our hearts. They are full of pity for Caesar.”
Brutus is kills Caesar for what he says to save Rome. This is true on his part because everyone knew Caesar to make impulsive decisions that could harm Rome and very much cause the downfall of it. He killed Caesar to prevent this. Many say that he is a betrayer but I purely believe that he is is a patriot. Throughout the play he already has contraversal thoughts but decides on his
Brutus may indeed have decided that, while he loved Caesar, Caesar was dangerous and Rome was more important. Despite this, Brutus’ logic depended on the fact that Caesar would be ambitious, and that that ambition could harm Rome. But as Antony and Brutus pointed out of Caesar that “I have not known when his affections sway'd More than his reason,” and “on the Lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown, Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?” This indicates that Caesar had not shown any dangerous ambition in the past, and so if Brutus’ basis for killing Caesar depended fully on the fact that “as he was ambitious, I slew him. There is…death for his ambition,” then his killing Caesar could not be justified by love for
The other conspirators want to kill Caesar because they are envious and jealous of his power, but Brutus wants to keep Rome a free country. Brutus is driven by patriotism, the need to act on his values, and the need to keep the good name of his ancestors. For these reasons, Brutus was justified in siding with the conspirators and
Julius Caesar is a story about doing what you believe is right, and sometimes the line between right and wrong can be blurry. In the play, Brutus other Romans conspire to kill the man who may become their new leader, Caesar. Patriots are typically looked at as being trustworthy, and Brutus murdered Caesar, someone who viewed him as a friend. Looking at the situation in a vacuum can make it look like Brutus is a betrayer because of that fact. However, many people incorrectly think of Brutus as being a villain when he was not a betrayer or traitor, Brutus was a patriot to the city of Rome.
The situation in this essay is that Brutus from the play Julius Caesar is stuck in a problem where he has to make a decision whether he should let his best friend live ,and live a fabulous life or kill his best friend and be known as the guy who killed the soon to be king that was loved by everyone in Rome.He has to make this decision on the fact that he believes that Caesar will become a tyrant and the people of Rome will fall into slavery if he is given all the power to control Rome. Brutus should kill Caesar based on his beliefs of the outcome of how the country of Rome will be handled in Caesars control.
All things considered, Brutus made the right decision to join the conspirators against Caesar. Throughout his speech Brutus gives valid points and explanations for why Caesar must never become king. The fate of the Roman Empire can not rest in the hands of Caesar alone, therefore Brutus and the other Conspirators plan to be sure of that. They confirm that Caesar will never get a chance to be king by killing him. Brutus Provides adequate information on the assassination of Julius Caesar, and as to why it is the right thing for him to
As stated in the book, it is not that he loves Caesar less, but Rome more. He thinks through what would happen if Caesar becomes the ruler. He realizes the Romans might lose their freedom and since he wants them to be happy, he knows something must be done. Finally, after a night of deep thinking, Brutus comes to the conclusion, killing Caesar as kindly and possible would be the right choice
Brutus made an overwhelming amount of decisions based on the good of Rome, not contemplating how it could affect or hurt himself or those around him. One example of this is after Brutus and the conspirators killed Brutus he gave a speech. In this speech he said, “If then that friend demand why/ Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer: Not/ that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.” (3.2.20-22). This quote is saying that the reason Brutus killed Caesar was not because he disliked him, but because he thought it was for the good of Rome. Brutus made this decision solely based on patriotism. He never thought about the effects or consequences it
