How Is Julius Caesar Honorable

William Shakespeare illustrates Brutus to have outstanding morals but also displays Brutus’s naive and over-trusting personality which becomes his tragic flaw. For example, when Brutus suffers from an internal conflict on deciding if Caesar should be emperor or not, Cassius takes advantage of his confusion and naïve personality to act as the “glass [that] will modestly discover [Brutus] ... / [t]hat ... [shows Brutus’s appearance] which … [he] yet know not of ” (1.2. 68-70) and then says, “‘Brutus,’ and ‘Caesar’: what should be in that ‘Caesar’? / Why should that name be sounded more than yours[, Brutus]” (1.2.142-43). From this conversation, Brutus is shown to allow his naïve and over-trusting personality overcome him. As a result, Brutus follows his close allies in the path considered to be the most noble. Moreover, this characteristic of Brutus makes him weak enough to eventually trust the conspirator, Cassius, to take down Caesar, his own brother. This eventually leads to Brutus’s downfall

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 is most definitely a honorable man because honor is the main reason why Brutus dies in the end. But, is also why he is titled a hero. After lucilius capture, he states “ i dare assure thee that no enemy shall ever take life of the Noble Brutus”.(6, 3) After the defeat of his army, Brutus wants to die nobly. It is achieved after he orders strato to kill him. Antony states “ this was the noblest Roman of them all” which to me says a lot of how people or other characters think about Brutus. Also Brutus had no personal Grudge towards Caesar what so ever it was just the simple fact that even the author states “Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved

As noble and great as Brutus might be, all tragic heroes have some tragic flaws and make some errors of judgment, which leads them to their downfall. In this case Brutus's great flaw is that he is too honorable, and he's too naïve when he is dealing with people. An example of an error of judgment is when Brutus underestimates Antony, and thinks him incapable of being dangerous after Caesar's death, "For Antony is but a limb of Caesar...he can do no more than Caesar's arm When Caesar's head is off."  This turns out not to be the case. One example of Brutus's excessive honor being damaging to him, is when he decides that only Caesar should die and no one else even if they seem to threaten his cause, as Cassius warns repeatedly that Antony does.

Brutus is one of Julius Caesar’s best friends and is viewed as either a patriot or betrayer. Brutus takes Caesar’s life claiming that it’s for the benefit of Rome just as Caesar is about obtain the Roman Empire essentially. I view Brutus as a betrayer and nothing more than a murderer because of his actions and the blood of Julius Caesar that is undoubtedly staining his hands. Some might disagree and claim him to be a patriot because he fought for what Rome really needed and saved them from Caesar’s rule that would only worsen Rome’s situation and the daily lives of the Roman citizens. Brutus fought for what he believed in that is undeniable, but it’s up to you and me to decide whether or not those beliefs made him into a betrayer or patriot.

In “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar”, Brutus was a villain. He was a man who loved Caesar and was a friend of Caesar’s throughout the play leading to his death. Throughout the play, Brutus fell for the manipulative ways of Cassius and the other conspirators. Brutus made several mistakes along with being a bad person in the play. He had several faults which involved him killing one of his closest friends one of the first acts of the play. There were some ways that Brutus is a good person, but those ways are hard to find over the bad choices he made over the course of the play.

In the end, Brutus was both a patriot and a betrayer. While he did kill for Rome, he betrayed his friend. I slew my best lover.” He did, and spoke this, because he was focusing on his own selfish fears. Through it all, he did what he truly believed what was best for Rome, even if that means killing his friend. He even offered his own life to Rome “shall please my country to need my death.” Despite the sin he committed, Brutus was a patriot for Rome. He killed the serpent that terrified him and threatened his people, all for his beloved country. Only a true patriot could make such

Even in the hardest times, Antony shows honor through his actions. The very first time Antony is introduced to the reader, he shows his nobility to Caesar. He responds to Caesar’s simple request by saying, “when

Brutus is truly “an honorable man.” He was initially resistant to Cassius’ suggestion to betray Caesar. Also, Brutus says, “not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.”(3.2.22) This proves that he only does what he feels is necessary to protect the Rome. In act 4, Brutus sees the ghost of Caesar, and this tells us that he is regretting his actions. He never felt right about killing Caesar afterwards. In fact, when he realized that he was wrong, he used the knife that he stabbed Caesar to take his own

Brutus has greta morals and principles and that often leads him to despise people that don't think the same as him because he has the purest mindset. This piggybacks onto his dedication because the eventual cause of someone not think like him resulted in a death. Brutus is somewhat honest, but only lies when it is for something he cares about and has to go around it. This is another quality showing why Brutus is the most noble

Brutus the Hero An honorable person can be defined as someone who rarely commits a sin and someone who is right and just throughout their whole entire life. There is a dispute going on about whether Marcus Brutus is an honorable man or not an honorable man. Some might say he is very honorable, while others say he is the villain of the play. He later joins a group called the conspirators because they are all jealous of Caesar. Most of the people that form the conspirators kill Caesar because of jealousy.

While often when a character is described as honorable and honest these seem to be very positive attributes of the character, to much of anything is never good. This is shown in the tradgety of Julius Caesar in the fact that these two traits are one if the main characters’, brutus, flaws. These traits are considered brutus’s trajic flaws in that they lead to his demise. Time and time again through out the play brutus’s actions are based soley on his need to remain honorable and honest in the eyes of all. Many of these acrions end up hurting him beacause brutus was only thinking of his image and not of the possible concequences that could occur. An example of this in the play would be in act 2 when brutus joins the conspirators against Caesar soley because he believed the people of rome needed and wanted him

The honor that Brutus gains through performing deeds without thinking of his own gain is solidified at the end of the play around the event of Brutus’s death.  At the beginning of act five, scene five, Brutus tells his servants that he believes his time living has come to an end, and he needs their help to kill him. One after another, Brutus’s servants tell him no. They respond to his request saying,  “I’d rather kill myself… That’s not an office for a friend, my lord”

Mark Antony believes Brutus is the noblest Roman of them all because Brutus exemplifies a loyal and well balanced character despite his apparent moral ambiguiity. Throughout the play Brutus shows his commitment to his country and his friends while also making brave and controvercial decisions. Because Brutus does not act without thought, all of his actions are well founded in his principles. Unlike other chracters, Mark Antony included, Brutus does and says what he honestly believes is best for all other Romans. As a polotician he does not act selfishly - his love for the people is so strong that he would rather be a murerer than let the country fall into tyranny. It was not necessary for all of the conspiritors to stab Caesar personally, however Brutus’s decsion to do so shows that he does not want other people to take the blame for a controvercial action that he wants commited. Throughought the play, Brutus’s moral superiority is consistantly shown and though Mark Antony has few scenes with Brutus, he too see how Brutus is expetionally noble in comparison to other Romans. There is no other character in the play that shows as mcuh compation, virtue and ethics than Brutus. In the final scene Mark Antony states, “his life was gentle, and the elements / So mixed in him that nature might stand up / and say to all the world ‘This was a man.’” (V.5.71-74) This balance of elements that Antony speaks of is what separates Brutus from other Roman’s- he does not let let his lotalty for his friends get in the way of his principles, he shows compasion for those under him, he does not want exessive bloodshed.

In William Shakespeare's the Tragedy of Julius Caesar, the best intentions of good, noble people can lead to a tragedy. In the beginning, Brutus is looked at as a noble guy. Even Brutus himself knows that he is, he says that, “If it be aught toward the general good, Set honor in one eye and death i' th' other“(1.2, 87-88). Meaning, if he thinks that if killing Julius Caesar is the best thing for the Roman people he will do what it takes even if it means his own death. Considering this, he wants to be continuously known as a noble guy. Likewise, when Brutus is talking to himself trying to consider if killing Caesar would be the right thing, he realizes that he has no personal reason to kill him, but if it is for the general good he will do
