When Was Julius Caesar Noble

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).

Brutus only looked at the bad side of Caesar, never looking at his achievements. Therefore, he was too easily swayed by himself and the conspirators. It was wrong for Brutus to join the resistance. Though he claims to be honorable, murder is not honored under any circumstance.

These are all reasons that Brutus should join the conspiracy. Due to the fact that nobody knows if Caesar is truly only going to do good things for the people or if he truly does only want power. Wondering if he is going to turn on everyone like he did to Pompey is not good Brutus would be doing the right thing incase that is what he has planned. “He is a serpent’s egg waiting to hatch”. These are all reasons as to why Brutus should join the conspiracy to kill

In Antonyś speech during Caesar’s funeral, Antony said many times ¨Yet Brutus was an honorable man.¨ (4,3,96) Brutus thought of the good of Rome and the people of Rome before himself. Britannica Encyclopedia (¨Marcus Brutus¨) says, ¨Though he is Caesar’s friend and man of honour, Brutus convinces himself that Caesar’s death is for the greater good of Rome.¨ Brutus was in total distress whether or not to join the conspiracy, but he was thinking about Rome going into tyranny.

Cassius’ reasoning was based on nothing but envy, he only believed that Caesar would not be good enough as a ruler of the Roman Empire. “Ye gods, it doth amaze me a man of such a feeble temper should so get the start of the majestic world and bear the palm alone.” (I,ii,128-31). Here Cassius reveals that he believes that Caesar simply is not intelligent enough to rule Rome, not so much that he is going to do bad things. After Cassius saves Caesar from drowning in the water, he begins to believe that he is also stronger than Caesar and believes he should be recognized for being a stronger man than Caesar. Leadership was not always about who was stronger, it was equally important to be able to lead people. Brutus is not perfect either, he is not very bright. As an Idealist he doesn't think about the consequences of his actions and how they can affect him in the future. Cassius proposed that all members of the conspiracy should be sworn to an oath of secrecy, but brutus thinks that all the men are as noble as himself and that none of them will give away the plans. As it ultimately turns out one man betrays the group and Caesar finds

Brutus committed the murder only for the good of Rome. Brutus had no ulterior motives and would not have killed Caesar If he had not thought Rome would benefit from it. This point is specifically made in Act II Scene I, where it says, “I know no personal cause to spurn at him, But for the General… How that might change his nature, there’s the question.”(Shakespeare pg. 19) All of the contextual evidence points to the fact that Brutus’ assassination of Julius Caesar was not only justifiable but heroic.

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.

Brutus felt that Caesars’s power would not be for the good of Rome so he went along with the assassination. This goes to show that Brutus felt Rome would be better off without him. Brutus also says,” it’s not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.” From this quote we can see that Brutus loved Caesar but not as much as did his home

Some people are viewed as being noble, but is that actually possible? Being noble is more than being courageous and generous, you also have to be loyal and honest. Being all four is very hard to do, that is something that is not done in Julius Caesar. There are two sides to everyone, people can be nice and people can be cruel. I use to think I was noble but the more I grew the more I realized I can’t be. In Williams Shakespeare's Julius Caesar no one is truly noble, proving it is impossible for someone to be perfect.

In the play Julius Caesar, Brutus is claimed to be the tragic hero or, a virtuous character in a dramatic tragedy that is set up from the beginning for downfall, suffering or defeat in the end. This is because of the way he cared for everyone and how he avoided betrayal and deceitfulness at all costs. But because of his optimistic outlook on everyone, this ultimately leads to his death. Throughout the play, he was completely oblivious to those who are using or betraying him.

Brutus, a conflicted senator obsessed with his civic duty, convinces the people of Rome that his motives in killing Caesar were just and noble by rhetoric. Brutus is the only conspirator to have impersonal motives in killing Caesar. In fact, his motives are trying to find the best solution for Rome, and in the end, he must make the hard choice of killing his best friend for his homeland. As early as Brutus’ conversation with Cassius in Act I, Brutus exhibits this deep love and respect for Rome and how this love is conflicting with his love for his friend, Caesar: “[P]oor Brutus, with himself at war, / Forgets the shows of love to other men” (I.ii.51-52). Brutus brings up this internal conflict again when he tells the crowds that although he did love Caesar, he loved Rome and its people more. After Brutus’ murder of Caesar, he realizes that the issue of the public opinion of Rome is of the utmost importance. Because of this love for Rome, Brutus uses rhetoric to persuade these plebeians to approve of him and his cause. When Cassius warns Brutus about “how much the people will be moved / By that which [Marc Antony] will utter[!]” (III.i.252-253), Brutus tells Cassius that letting Marc Antony speak “shall advantage us more than do us wrong” (III.i.261). In these cases, Brutus demonstrates his awareness of

Shakespeare uses manipulation on Brutus as the driving force for the play. Cassius leads to the inciting action by attempting to convince Brutus to join the conspiracy. He flatters Brutus by saying, “‘Brutus’ and ‘Caesar’: what should be in that ‘Caesar’? / Why should that name be sounded more than yours? / Write them together: yours is as fair a name” (I.ii.149-151). Cassius tells Brutus how is just as noble and honorable as Caesar. Brutus is humble, but he is easy to flatter although he was not convinced to join the conspiracy. This softened him to the concept of turning against his friend and he is reasonable so he will not be convinced until Cassius provides a logical reason to prevent Caesar from gaining more power. He is opposed to Caesar
