The Most Honorable, And Octavius Corrupt In William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar

While Brutus was trying to be honorable to Rome, he betrayed his friendship to Caesar, making him dishonorable. I would disagree with anybody who would call Brutus honorable. Brutus also leaves Rome with no kind, ruler, or government. Once Caesar is dead, he has no plan for what will happen to Rome next, he just expects the people to figure it out. This also represents an example of Brutus being dishonorable.

Second, In The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Cassius is even more corrupt than Caesar. For instance, Cassius does what is best for him. For example, after Caesar is killed, Cassius persuades the conspirators that killing Caesar is what people will

...Then none I have offended. The question of his death has been enrolled in the capital.” He supports the argument that he and the conspirators killed Caesar for honorable reasons, because the ethical thing to do would be to give the reasoning and tell the capitol about it. Antony here uses Ethos in a different manner: “He was my friend, faithful and just to me: But Brutus says he was ambitious; but Brutus is an honourable man. ” Antony was using reverse Psychology by saying Brutus is honorable, who of which says Caesar is ambitious, and therefore it must be true that Caesar’s friendship and trueness with him must be void. The commoners obviously don’t think lowly of Caesar, so this began to change their view of Brutus and the other Conspirators in killing him. Brutus’s use of Ethos was more effective because he used it to further prove his actions were for the good of Rome and honor, which finally swayed their opinion in favor of his actions at

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.

William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Julius Caesar is a story of envy, downfall, dishonesty, and true loyalty. The story begins with a celebration of Julius Caesar’s return home from a victorious battle. The people of Rome are excited for Caesar’s return, as they value and respect him as a potential leader, but there are also a handful of people that express their unhappiness with all of the attention surrounding Caesar. Caius Cassius is among those handful of individuals unhappy with Caesar’s popularity. Cassius is envious of Caesar and does not understand why he has gained so much power over the people of Rome, which brings him to the conclusion that he needs to bring about the fall of Caesar. Cassius expresses the issue to his brother-in-law

Titinus responds respectfully, “ O Cassius, Brutus gave the word too early, Who, having some advantage on Octavius, Took it too eagerly. His soldiers fell to spoil, Whilst we by Antony are all enclosed” (Shakespeare 5.3.5-8). Titinius is now correcting Cassius in a nice way saying that Brutus has already sent the troops to surprise attack, but they left. This kind of explanation from Titinius shows us he is respectful, and he is not showing off to Cassius. The next and final reason why I feel that Titinius is the most honorable is the loyalty he has. Titinius shows loyalty in the most brave way. He is so loyal to Cassius that when he finds himself at Cassius’s body, he kills himself. Some would say he is completely crazy, but others say this is loyal and the thing to do. In my opinion, Titinius is very loyal to Cassius, and I would commend him for that. As a result, I find Cassius honorable for being obedient, a fearless man, and a loyal soldier.

The least thing that was honorable in Julius and Caesar is Brutus killing because he took someone death like trash. He got to look at the man that he killed and just stabbed him and didn’t worry about anything. Everything was going to be okay and no one would care. That he would die and not tell anyone goodbye.

The least honorable character of Julius Caesar is Cassius because he was the fakest person out of them all. For example, he had help kill Caesar with the swords that they use. In the movie, it said that Caesar’s opinon of cassius is that he thinks to much and he is dangerous. Caesar should have paid way more attention to Cassius if he thought he was dangerous. Also in the movie on March 15th they planed on crowning him but then on that same day they killed him. What I mean about Cassius being the fakest person is that he tried to act like he wasnt planning anything with the conspritators. Finally. Cassius is the least honorable person in the story.

Emperor Augustus was the most influential emperor in the history of the Roman Empire. He was also the first emperor of the Roman Empire. His real name was Octavian, but he was given the name Augustus when he took over as emperor. From early on in his life, he was an established leader. He began wearing a toga at just age sixteen, which is the Roman sign of manhood. He began to take on the responsibilities associated with his family’s connections. His uncle was Julius Caesar, who was leader of Rome before he became emperor. Octavian fought along his uncle in battle. From early on in his life, Octavian had the qualities of an impressive leader, and he showed these qualities later in his life.

The least honorable character of Julius Caesar is Cassius. He disliked Caesar personally. Cassius killed Caesar because he was to powerful and Cassius didn’t approve of that. He is also has jealousy towards Caesar. Cassius just like Brutus they are worried about Caesar becoming popular.

The opinions of our conspirators on the main stage are highly varied as they both have two completely different ways of leading others. Brutus for one was a strong and honorable man, forcing himself to stand tall and do whatever the noble thing is no matter what the resulting consequence would be. If it was something that could have been deemed dishonorable then Brutus wouldn’t give it a second thought. Honor was Brutus’s selection of tactics, no matter which way the wind would blow. This is shown in the play when Brutus refuses the oath in act two, scene one. His honorable tactics were what paved his road when he said that they should head to Philippi to meet Octavius and Antony in act four scene three, rather than wait for them to wear themselves out. This shows his honorable nature by presenting us with the fact that he would rather meet his opponent half way and defeat them on equal grounds rather than wait for them to approach and to fight with them when they were at a

Octavius and Antony went to fight. When they go the message they were told that there's experience shoulders coming and that he will attack from the left which he said no to, and say that he will attack from the right while Antony can come from the left because they always wants to argue. When Octavius asks Anthony if their side should attack first, Antony called Octavius “Caesar” saying that they will wait for them. The leader witch swords and Octavius took his sword calls for Caesar's death; he swear that he will not put the sword down again until another Caesar is added the deaths of the traitors. Cassius tells the soldiers that is his birthday and tells him his recent bad omen about two

A representative is nothing more and nothing less. When the public cannot or refuses to support injustice, action will rise. Without checks and balances in place and enforced, dictatorship takes rise. In the end, the government or citizens themselves imprison or assassinate the dictator. For example, Rome's Julius Caesar, Spain's Francisco Franco, Italy's Benito Mussolini, Germany's Adolf Hitler, and Russia's Joseph Stalin were assassinated, or attempted to assassinate, or committed suicide. In order to prevent further blood shed and tyranny, the Senators deemed it necessary to assassinate Julius Caesar after he declared himself as dictator for life. Modern principles of justice indicate no individual – citizen, representative, or foreign authority

His first display of honor was when after Caesar was killed he vowed to seek revenge by saying “domestic fury and civil strife will cumber all the parts of Italy” (3, 1, 278-279). Antony believes that a civil war is what is needed to stop the conspirators from gaining power and to avenge Caesar’s death. This part of the play shows that Antony is honorable because he is respecting his friend by avenging his wrongful death. At the end of the play Antony has another display of honor when he pays respect to Brutus by saying “this was the noblest Roman of them all” (5, 5, 74). In this line Antony recognizes Brutus’s integrity.

At this point in the play, Antony and Octavius are making plans to gain back the empire from Brutus and Cassius. In the above passage, Antony expresses his views on humanity, specifically Lepidus, comparing Lepidus to a creature. A creature is very wild, beastly, and untamed, which is why Shakespeare used a horse because a wild horse is very powerful and strong. Once a horse is tamed it becomes an obedient, mindless tool with no self-determination and will.
