Most Honorable Character In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar

Honor and loyalty are the most important personal traits of a person, but it can also be the opposite depending how it is expressed. Honor means you keep your word , no matter what. It also means you do what is best for yourself and others around you. When somebody is honorable to you, you respect them , and trust them. Honorable people are also normally known as responsible and likable. In some cases, people think they are doing what is honorable, but really they are not.

Many people know that Julius Caesar was betrayed and killed by many people who he had thought to be his friends. Some less common knowledge is that he did still have friends and others who stayed loyal to him. One man named Mark Antony was the most loyal of them all, even after Caesar’s death. When he found out Caesar had been killed, he began plotting to get on the traitor’s good sides and make it seem as if he had joined them so that he could convince the citizens to fight against them with him. He deceived the traitors and convinced them to let him speak at Caesar’s funeral, and in this speech he turned the citizens against them using very powerful rhetorical skills. After he had drove the traitors from the city, he took control of the city and led them to victory in a war against the conspirator’s armies. These are three telling examples that prove Antony’s skill and potential as a leader.

Caesar respected Antony, and his way of life. He defended him when he said, "See! Antony, that revels (makes merry) long a-nights, is notwithstanding (however) up. Good morrow, Antony" (2.4.116-117).

Well, honor is the subject of my story. I cannot tell you what other men Think of this life, but for my single self, I had as lief not be, as live to be In awe of such a thing as myself” (1.2.90-96.). Brutus goes through with killing Caesar,but talks the men out of killing Mark Antony out of the belief he has done nothing wrong. Caesar believes he has done the correct thing and has saved the people of Rome from a corrupt leader, and he performs a speech to the people of Rome explaining his actions and why he murdered Caesar. This leads to his downfall in the end, because the act of not killing Mark Antony creates a war that is order to kill Cassius and Brutus.

In contrast, during the funeral speech of Antony, Brutus honor is respected: ‘Brutus is an honorable man’ (Act III Sc. ii), ‘Sure, he is an honorable man’ (Act III Sc. ii). Therefore, as Antony continually repeats these words, Brutus’ honor grasp another situation which then turns the people against him. This reflects , though he is a respected person but, on the other hand, he gives more importance towards his honor.

Antony did not have such an elite status in his play up until Caesar died, but many peasants called Antony noble throughout Julius Caesar. For example, they said, "There's not a nobler man in Rome than Antony," (Shakespeare 3.2.114). Thus, Antony was considered noble even by the common man. His noble reputation was further established by his devout commitment to Caesar. Antony's loyalty to Caesar is first made apparent when he offers Caesar the crown. Casca exclaimed, "I saw Mark Antony offer him a crown," (Shakespeare 1.2.236-237) which is a simple gesture with a powerful message. It shows the people that Antony is no foe to Caesar and wishes to see his friend succeed as leader. No jealousy or scheme to overthrow Caesar was hinted at by Antony. Moreover, he vouched to die when Caesar did: "I shall not find myself so apt to die; No place will please me

What makes someone honorable or corrupt? Webster defines honorable as “deserving of respect or high regard.” Webster also defines corrupt as “to change from good to bad in morals, manners, or action.” Honor is doing something for moral excellence. Being dishonorable or corrupt is flaunting one’s own abilities for completing a deed. Who comes to mind when you think honorable? Who comes to mind when you think corrupt? Everyone has a different opinion for who is honorable and who is dishonorable or corrupt. 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

The least honorable person in Julius Caesar is Cassius. He is scheming and unscrupulous. One presumably couldn't trust him with much. For example, in the play he has the role of a tactful character. Cassius wasn't the type of man you could trust to house sit for you.

The least honorable character of julius caesar is cassius because he is the ringleader of the conspirators.cassius is politically savvy and manipulative,and he hates the way the roman people treat caesar like a god.cassius is also responsible for manipulating brutus to turn on his best friend caesar. In the play cassius brags and compares himself to a mental-worker,as he talks about his manipulating skills.cassius uses his sly abilities to convince brutus that the roman people want him to become their leader. Cassius then proceeds to send brutus letters urging him to kill caesar. This action makes him the least honorable. Cassius is the least honorable character from the play because cassius is not only manipulative, but is all about bragging.

Antony repeats the word “honorable” several times in his speech. He is doing this in order to emphasize Brutus’ honorability, and make the citizens question it. Antony also repeats the word “ambitious” a signifacant amount of times. Through the repition of “ambitious”, Antony mocks Brutus trying to justify his actions by saying that Caesar was too ambitious. Every time he was that word, he describes an honorable trait of Caesar that contradicts Brutus’ accusation. For example, he mentions that Caesar refused the crown three times , and asks the citizens whether if that would be considered ambitious. “My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, and I must pause till it come back to me,”[He weeps](Shakspeare, III,ii 116-117). Antony uses pathos to draw emotions out of the citizens. This quote emphasizes how many Antony loved Caesar, and the sadness he is feeling now that he is dead. Antony’s grief makes the people of Rome sympathetic to him, which leads to them

The least honorable character in julius caesar is cassius. Him and the other conspirators Are the ones that killed julius caesar on a hunch, That if he had power he’d tear rome to pieces. Brutus is the only one that killed caesar out of love. Cassius did it out of spite for caesar he just didn't like him. Brutus said it's not that i loved caesar any less, it's that i loved rome more. Cassius and Brutus would only take the “honorable” way out of their lives.

Causing the emotional pool from making the crowd on his side to feel the same pain Antony is feeling without trying to sound rude to the Conspirators. After reminding the death of Caesar, he goes on to say, “O masters! If I were disposed to stir/ Your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage,/ I should do Brutus wrong, and Cassius wrong,/Who, you all know, are honorable men./I would not do them wrong. I rather choose/To wrong the dead, to wrong myself and you,/ Than I will wrong such honorable men/

He praises Brutus as an honorable man but describes Caesar as the most honorable man of them all. Antony takes a tone of powerful sarcasm against Caesar good dead and Brutus betrayal of him .Antony uses repetition to apply to a common emotion. Furthermore, Antony uses symbolism such as rhetorical questions,and

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.
