    I believe that Marcus Brutus was the noblest of Romans. Out of the conspirators, Brutus was the only one who was actually acting in the best favor of Rome.

To elaborate on my first

    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

    refers to Brutus as the noblest of all. He really is what Antony calls him ironically: "an honorable man." Because honorable and honest people tend to suppose that others also live by their standards, he trusts Cassius and lets himself be convinced that Caesar must die to preserve democratic rule in Rome. To him, the killing of his friend is a sad but necessary sacrifice, and his well-intentioned mistake destroys him. At the end, Antony says of him, "This was the noblest Roman of them all. I don’t
