Reasons Brutus Should Not Join The Conspiracy

A: brutus trying to get his fellow people know that he is a good person B: Why kill your bestfriend? C:brutus says he killed caesar to save rome but cant kill antony because they are gonna

I think that Brutus was a betrayer although others may think he is both. He is a patriot and he adored Rome so much to the point he wanted to protect it and defend it. At the same time, I think he was a traitor because he killed Caesar. Brutus was trying to get all the townspeople to believe that he is amazing and a noble person. Caesar came and saw Brutus and Brutus stabbed his own friend. He betrayed Caesar even though they were good friends before.

In Act II, Brutus decides to join the conspiracy and even becomes the leader of it. I believe that Brutus did the right thing in joining the conspiracy, because he puts the people of Rome first and is very loyal and honorable to them, and Brutus thinks that Caesar will become corrupt and

Brutus faces a moral issue stuck between his loyalty to Rome and his personal loyalty and trustworthiness to Julius Caesar. One defending argument against Brutus joining the conspiracy is around the bond of friendship he shares with Caesar. Caesar trusts Brutus completely and considers him a close and real friend, which complicates Brutus's decision. Betraying Caesar's trust by participating in the conspiracy would be a huge destruction of friendship and honor, weighing heavily on Brutus's conscience. Betraying a friend, especially one as loyal and trusting as Caesar, would not only stain Brutus's character but also put tons of doubt and mistrust on everyone he is close to.

This makes Brutus remember that he has a name to uphold. His ancestor Lucius Junius Brutus was the founder of the Roman Republic. If he stands idly by and watches Rome become tyrannical under Caesar’s ruling, he will lose his glory and his right to his last name. This results in Brutus feeling shame, knowing that if he ultimately doesn’t join the Conspiracy, he will be letting his family name and his honor

Brutus was very naive and got influenced by Cassius very easily. Cassius was very smart and manipulated Brutus to make him agree with him. Cassius said, “If I were Brutus now, and he were Cassius, He should not humour me.” (Shakespeare, p.13). Brutus believed that his friend, Caesar had a negative impact on Rome decided to join the conspiracy to assassinate Caesar. Even though Caesar was his friend, Brutus always showed loyalty towards Rome. Brutus' tragic flaw is that he is not good at figuring out other’s intentions, and trusted Cassius. If Brutus never listened to Cassius in the first place, he would not have joined the conspiracy, and might not have had a tragic end.

All of the Roman people respect him and trust that he will make decisions to improve Rome. One of the reasons that he joined the conspiracy was simply for the Roman people. During the first act, it says that Brutus sits high in the hearts of the Roman people (I, iii, 157). If Brutus does not do this for his people, he will feel as though he is responsible for the events that will happen in the future. Consequently, he decides to choose what is best for his people and decides to join the group that is planning to kill his best

But, he sided with them for the right reasons, he had reasons for killing Caesar. Brutus joined the conspirators because he thought they had reasons to kill Caesar, but Brutus finds out they did not have good reasons to kill Caesar. Brutus knows he has done wrong by Caesar, but has done right by his people. This quote shows that Brutus

“The noble Brutus Hath told you Caesar was ambitious. If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath Caesar answered it.” - William Shakespeare. Brutus was once a noble honest man. Everyone loved him until one day he decided to join the conspiracy group. The group had a plan to kill Caesar, but had one problem. The city of Rome would look down on the conspiracy group if they did not have someone they favored in the group. That is when they had asked Brutus to join. And so he did, but then that is where they went wrong. It was not just about having Brutus. They needed actual proof on why they needed to assassinate Caesar. But yet everything they had that would unwelcome him turned out to be untrue, and they were not thinking of

Brutus,Cassius, and all the other conspirators were only looking out for the people of Rome. They may have loved Caesar but the weren't going to let their personal feelings get in the way of

If Brutus believes the first explanation, that Cicero will not follow the conspiracy, it opens questions as to whether it is truly a noble enterprise. If Brutus believes the second, it shows that he has only joined the conspiracy on the condition that he will be the leader, and enjoy the benefits of the conspiracy for his own personal

Some people believe that Brutus joining the conspiracy was the right thing for him to do. They agree with the killing of Caesar because they believe if he became a ruler he would be a tyrant. They would rather have the Caesar be murdered than risk the slightest possibility that he would become a dictator. What the conspiracy doesn’t realize is that life is precious. They didn't even make an attempt to talk to Caesar, or even verify that if he did become ruler, he would cause chaos. The conspiracy just lashed out and didn't care who got hurt in the

Marcus Brutus was a very well thought out man. Brutus declares to himself that his role in the conspiracy is to save Rome. He says to the people that, "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."(Act 3, scene 2, lines 19-21). If Brutus was not in the plot of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, the whole plot would've fallen apart. Since Brutus "...loved Rome more."(Act 3, scene 2 and line 21), he decided to be a part of the conspiracy. Cassius and the rest of the conspirators would probably not have continued on without Brutus because they would have no "insurance" afterwards. The people would think that there was no reason for Caesar's death and most likely beheaded all the conspirators. These are the reasons why Brutus was needed

Brutus possesses many ideals and mannerisms that make him the tragic hero in William Shakespeare’s tragedy. To begin with, Brutus has a deep sense of love for his city, and concerns himself with its well-being. His concern for Rome is actually what causes him to backstab Caesar. He worries that he is too arrogant to be an adequate leader, “I do fear the people/ Choose Caesar for their king.” (Shakespeare I.ii. 85-86). Secondly, Brutus has an undying moral compass that navigates him on his integrity driven choices. Brutus thinks long and hard before he joins the conspirators, and wonders whether or not it is the right choice and questions his choices, “Into what dangers would you lead me…/ That you would have me seek into myself/ For which is not in me?” (Shakespeare I.ii. 69-71). His strong beliefs are what ultimately convince him to join the conspirators, for the good of Rome. Also, Brutus believes in equality and respect. He gives a speech to the public because he feels they deserve to know the reason why Caesar dies, ‘And, waving our red weapons o’er our heads,/ Let’s all cry “Peace, freedom, and liberty!”’. (Shakespeare III.i. 121-122). This heroic quality is one of the things that drives him to be a good leader, and a good person as well. As much as these traits lead us to believe
