    In the play Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare, I think that the noblest roman of them all was Brutus. I have many reasons for why I think this, here are a few. First off Brutus was seen as powerful public figure to Rome. Secondly Brutus killed Caesar because he felt Caesar was becoming too powerful and it would to be good for the people of Rome. Lastly other powerful figures on the story saw him to be not only the noblest roman of them all but a true war hero. From this we can see that Brutus was

    Standing over the corpse of Brutus, Antony begins his terse and final speech with the words “This was the noblest Roman of them all.” In order to discover the meaning of this claim, we must look to the next few lines in which Antony provides support for it. He notes that “all the conspirators save only he / did that they did in envy of great Caesar.” This seems, at least regarding Brutus, to be accurate. We find evidence for this in the beginning of the scene set in Brutus’s orchard. Brutus says

    told to think of who was the noblest character in the play Julius Cesar. Because Antony refers to Brutus by saying, "This was the noblest Roman of them all" In my opinion this was a hard choice because back then there weren't a lot of noble guys. There were all sorts of types; the jerks, those ones who did not care, the ones who basically did nothing all day and the rest couple of actual men who were noble. But in my next paragraph will describe who I think is the noblest. So in my opinion, I think

    In Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, At the end of the play, Antony refers to Brutus by saying, "This was the noblest Roman of them all." i think the noblest character in the play is Brutus. I say this because Brutus had a good relationship with Caesar and because Caesar is powerful and everyone knows Caesar this why they wanted Brutus to join the conspiracy. Brutus problem is he only wants to see the goodness in people and honor them for what he want to honor them for. Not there other abilities

    1. Read "Cincinnatus Saves Rome: A Roman Morality Tale" (5-1b). In this excerpt, does Livy's story appear to be historically valid? Why or why not? Why were the "common folk" less pleased than the officials at seeing the Dictator? Were their fears accurate and what were their views of him likely to have been twenty days later? What elements of this story inspired later generations to hail Cincinnatus as "the noblest Roman of them all"? Livy’s story does not appear to be historically valid. Livy

    Being noble means your brave, that you take responsibility, and you have high morals. Julius Caesar and Brutus are both noble and the noblest of all the conspirators. Both are equally noble to one another. No one is above the other. Julius Caesar was one of the most well known conspirators. He was very popular amongst the Senators and the lower class. He was very despised by his fellow conspirators. They wear not sure what he was capable of and or thinking if he was crowned emperor.

    I think Brutus was the noblest character in Julius Caesar. He was a Roman senator and was the leader in the plot to assassinate Caesar. The energy behind Brutus was for what he believed to be the best interest of Rome, at any cost. He was certainly flawed in his reasoning and his conclusions we not analytical as compared to Cassius. Brutus ran on strong emotion and conviction. He was convinced that Caesar was not a great leader that Rom deserved and Brutus wanted to preserve Rome. He felt Caesar

    At the end of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, Antony refers to Brutus by saying, "This was the noblest Roman of them all". I do not think that Brutus was the noblest character in the play. Quite frankly, I would think that Calpurnia Caesar, the 3rd and Last wife of Julius would be. She is a caring and loving and humble wife that has been there for Caesar up to his time of death. You really can not get more noble than that. Calpurnia is always by his side with him even when she is not physically

    In the play “Julius Caesar”, Antony refers to Brutus by saying, “This was the Noblest Roman of them all.” As a matter of fact I do think Brutus is the noblest roman. Brutus killed Caesar not out of hate but for the sake of his country. In spite of the fact that Brutus was the noblest, he had many strengths and weaknesses too. Brutus strength was that he was very noble and honorable and a great leader. On the other hand Brutus was very gullible and ha poor judgment. Brutus had an amazing

    of a noble man. After the death of respected Julius Caesar, the speedy fight for power exposed the veracious side of Roman figures. William Shakespeare, in his play Julius Caesar, examines the struggles for the title of the noblest Roman between ethical Marcus Brutus and other power thirsty Romans to reveal the most honorable man. Marcus Brutus shows qualities of a noble roman through patriotism. He makes many tough decisions that result in questioning his character, but the actions he takes are
