Is Brutus Caesar Like His Actions

Cassius is the creator of the conspiracy and he also leads Brutus into joining the conspiracy. Cassius is very strong and well respected but his weakness is that he can't trust people and he always suspects people.Cassius makes enemies with Antony and Octavius and dies.

He states that Brutus is just as noble and worthy as Caesar. (Act 1, scene ii). He says that Brutus cannot see what everyone else does and recognize his worthiness. Cassius and the other senators do not want Caesar to be king because they would lose all their power. Cassius is slowly luring Brutus in to do his dirty work. He builds Brutus’s confidence up to make him thing that killing Caesar is the right thing to do. Cassius is basically playing with Brutus’s head because he knows Brutus will listen. So, Brutus joins the conspirators in killing Caesar. Cassius tells Brutus that it is for the good of Rome, and that he is saving them from a dictatorship. Cassius is going for Brutus’s weakest point, his care and concern for Rome. He knows that if Brutus believes the people distrust Caesar, then he will be convinced that Caesar must be thwarted. Brutus knew that if Caesar was crowned, he would never have a chance, and he was power hungry. This is what ultimately leads to the tragedy of Julius Caesar. After Brutus kills Caesar off, he starts to feel guilty for killing his friend, thus creating an internal conflict. Brutus was so confident that the plan would go exactly as planned that he fell apart when they encountered problems. If Brutus and the other conspirators had taken more time to think things through, they probably would have been more prepared for the situation that was handed to them.

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.

Tricking him into doing “what's good for the people” . The next way they try to manipulate Brutus is by flattering him. In the play Brutus is a very self conscious character. He might be the same as Caesar but he doesn't see this. “I have heard Where many of the best respect in Rome, Except Immortal Caesar speaking of Brutus and groaning underneath his age’s yoke Have wish'd that noble Brutus had his eyes” (I.ii.60). Cassius is convincing Brutus into believing he really is a brave and noble man. By doing this Brutus will be more offended by Caesar's remarks and want to join the conspiracy. To wrap up, Brutus is in fact manipulated into killing Caesar.

He compares Caesar to a serpent in an egg which he must kill before it hatches. Brutus knows that Caesar is gaining too much power too quickly and it must come to an end. He shows his belief in a republic government by saying, “We all stand up against the spirit of Caesar / And in the spirit of men there is no blood" (II.i. 180-181). Cassius is a character who is jealous of Caesar’s power and also wants it to end. He forms a group of conspirators who are against Julius Caesar. He persuades Brutus to help him and the other conspirators to kill Caesar during the ides of March. Brutus joins but only due to his love for Rome and its people. He proves this by saying "Let us be sacrificers, but not butchers, Caius." (II.i. 179). This also proves his love for Caesar because he wants to kill him with some sort of honor. Brutus wants the citizens to look at him not as a murderer but for someone who cares for his country. He expresses his ideas toward the stabbing by saying , “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" (III, ii, 17-19).

When the conspirators were discussing plan on how they should preceed on killing Caesar , Brutus made it very apparent on how the killing should go, stating “Let’s kill him boldly but not wrathfully. / Let’s carve him as a dish fit for gods, / Not hew him as a carcass fit for hounds.” This meant that Brutus loved Caesar enough to respect his remains and not have the murder perceived as gruesome but as essential for Rome to remain free, peaceful and have liberty. Brutus wanted his body to be in such pristine condition that it would be fit for the gods. He was keeping in mind that he was not killing Caesar out of his personal strife, but for greater well-being of Rome. This way of thinking would affect the murder from being seen as savage to humane, only doing what was necessary to kill him. However this would mind-set would change if Brutus hated Caesar. Brutus would not care to respect a body of a man he hated, he would want to kill him wrathfully, and try to cause the most pain he possibly could.

In the beginning of the play, we meet Brutus, a highly respected, much loved, senator of Rome. He loved Rome as a republic and he has a good life until he is led astray by Cassius. When he becomes embroiled in the assassination of Caesar, he is very reluctant to do so. In the way he acted, you could tell he has sleepless nights over what he should do. He decided to kill Caesar for

“Et tu, Brute?” (Julius Caesar 3. 1. 77). Caesar's famous last words after he was stabbed by his closest ally and best friend, Marcus Junius Brutus, along with his conspirators. This event occurred back in ancient Roman times, but there are many cases today of allies becoming enemies. Additionally, an example of a famous one in the sports world today would include Russell Westbrook and his feud with Kevin Durant. Not to mention, this modern Caesar and Brutus have countless similarities and differences with the original Caesar and Brutus.

Brutus is a friend of Caesar who is torn about what he must do. Caesar is ambitious and wanting the crown so as to rule Rome. However, Cassius, a friend of Brutus, plants seeds of discord into Brutus and Brutus, through his own reasoning, realizes that there is only one thing he can do. Kill Caesar and know he saved Rome by doing so. “What means this shouting?

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

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.

Caesar and Brutus are both important men in very high positions. They both were political leaders who are respected and looked up to by many people. They are also close friends. By the beginning of the play, Caesar and Brutus both are trying to become the single most powerful man in Rome.

Even though Brutus cherishes Caesar, he cherishes the city of Rome more. Brutus fears that Caesar will become too powerful, and the city will become corrupt. Brutus joins Cassius and the conspirators after he realizes that Rome and it’s people are in danger. After reading a forged letter, Brutus is completely convinced that killing Caesar is the right choice to protect the city.

By his rhetoric, Cassius is able to make Brutus join the conspirators so that Cassius’ personal fear of Caesar becoming king will not play out.

According to the plebeians of Rome: Who understood better the nature of Caesar, Mark Anthony or Brutus? We will compare Brutus' view of Caesars ambition, honor, and love of Rome with Mark Anthony's view of his ambition, honor and love of Rome and how the people reacted to such.
