Brutus Caesar Villain

In Act 1, we learn that Brutus respect Caesar and Caesar respects Brutus. Making this an easy target for Cassius to use Brutus to join the conspirators to kill Caesar. Brutus is loyal to Caesar but we know that Brutus will do anything to keep the people of Rome happy. He was willing to betray his friend in order to save the people of Rome. Although Brutus was assuming that Caesar would betray all his friends because he’s stronger than them; he is at war between betraying Caesar or betraying the people of Rome. Either way Brutus has to pick one and obviously from the context of his soliloquy, readers can tell that Brutus truly honors the citizens. Therefore he ends up betraying his friend (that trust him) and joins the conspirator. Another example

Marcus Brutus was a reputable man to the people of Rome and to his friend Caesar. Brutus had good intentions for Rome’s people, which is why he did not think Caesar would be a good leader. Although Caesar was in shock to see Brutus included in the men that stabbed him, Brutus only did it for the good of the people. Brutus reveals his nobility to his people when he says in Act 3, scene 2, “…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”(126). Brutus’s statement explains that he had all the respect for Caesar as anyone else, but the love for his people and home was much more prized. He killed Caesar out of fear of what may happen to the beloved people of Rome. This proves that Brutus’s intentions were just as honorable as the man he was. In addition to both characters being honorable, their actions got the best of them and may have changed them for the worst.

William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar was an famous portrait of Brutus' betrayal to Caesar and the chaos that ensued afterwards. Brutus was a very complex and complicated man. He professed to have honor, and he thought his honor was the reason for many of his detestable judgement. Was Brutus truly honorable? Or was he more naive and arrogant?

Brutus did not want to kill Caesar at first, but through the persuasion of Cassius and the conspirators, he eventually decides to fall into the group's views. Brutus is easily persuaded by the thoughts of the conspiracy. Consequently, he determines to unite with the association wanting the death of Caesar quickly. Brutus

In the end, Brutus was both a patriot and a betrayer. While he did kill for Rome, he betrayed his friend. I slew my best lover.” He did, and spoke this, because he was focusing on his own selfish fears. Through it all, he did what he truly believed what was best for Rome, even if that means killing his friend. He even offered his own life to Rome “shall please my country to need my death.” Despite the sin he committed, Brutus was a patriot for Rome. He killed the serpent that terrified him and threatened his people, all for his beloved country. Only a true patriot could make such

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.

Brutus is truly “an honorable man.” He was initially resistant to Cassius’ suggestion to betray Caesar. Also, Brutus says, “not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.”(3.2.22) This proves that he only does what he feels is necessary to protect the Rome. In act 4, Brutus sees the ghost of Caesar, and this tells us that he is regretting his actions. He never felt right about killing Caesar afterwards. In fact, when he realized that he was wrong, he used the knife that he stabbed Caesar to take his own

Brutus does not know if Caesar is going to do good things and put the people first in the city. He should not risk having Caesar stay alive and many different innocent lives be taken because he chose not to join the conspiracy. If Caesar does hurt people and do the wrong thing than Brutus could be responsible for those incidents. Brutus

Brutus was in fact a betrayer, and while he did feel sympathy for Caesar after he died, he killed him along with the other conspirators and even started a war of sorts in Rome, causing many to fall in battle- himself included. While Brutus was persuaded by fake letters, no man should be as gullible as him to completely switch sides on only the basis of three anonymous letters that were stuck to his window. Brutus was a villain who felt that he was the hero, more concerned about the safety of the government he loved rather than the friend that he loved.

Brutus is neither a hero or villain. In the beginning of the play, Cassius and Brutus talk to each other during the Festival of Lupercal. Although Cassius never flat out says that he wants to kill Caesar, he hints at it and Brutus responds by saying “Than that Brutus, with himself at war/ Forgets the shows of love to other men.” (JC 1.2.46-47).

Brutus is most definitely a honorable man because honor is the main reason why Brutus dies in the end. But, is also why he is titled a hero. After lucilius capture, he states “ i dare assure thee that no enemy shall ever take life of the Noble Brutus”.(6, 3) After the defeat of his army, Brutus wants to die nobly. It is achieved after he orders strato to kill him. Antony states “ this was the noblest Roman of them all” which to me says a lot of how people or other characters think about Brutus. Also Brutus had no personal Grudge towards Caesar what so ever it was just the simple fact that even the author states “Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved

Equally important, Brutus did not kill Caesar because he loved him less, but that he loved Rome more. Consequently, Brutus could be considered to have been manipulated into

One of the first reasons that Brutus became the tragic hero was his decision to join the conspirators in their plan to kill Caesar. Brutus played an important role in the conspirators plan all along. The conspirators thought that if they got Brutus to join them, it would make the killing look more purposeful. They thought that since Brutus is a noble friend to Caesar there had to be a good reason for them to kill Caesar and the people would understand. Many of the people looked up the Brutus as a good man because of his past.

Brutus made an overwhelming amount of decisions based on the good of Rome, not contemplating how it could affect or hurt himself or those around him. One example of this is after Brutus and the conspirators killed Brutus he gave a speech. In this speech he said, “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.” (3.2.20-22). This quote is saying that the reason Brutus killed Caesar was not because he disliked him, but because he thought it was for the good of Rome. Brutus made this decision solely based on patriotism. He never thought about the effects or consequences it

Brutus was a noble character. He was a smart man with reason and passion. Brutus, like every man, had his faults and this essay is going to tell you what those are.
