Is Julius Caesar Good Or Bad

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.

As Julius Caesar once said, “Men are nearly always willing to believe what they wish.” Many people believed that if Caesar became a ruler, he would be a brutal dictator. The conspiracy did not have concrete reasons to murder Julius Caesar. They just assumed that he would be a tyrant. Considering that Caesar and Brutus were such close friends, Brutus should have attempted to talk to Caesar instead of agreeing to murder him. Also, Brutus claims to be such an honorable man, but killing someone isn’t a very honorable deed, regardless of the circumstances.

In Julius Caesar Brutus displays the traits of a tragic hero throughout this play. His tragic flaw is need to be nobel. He makes an error in judgment, and when killing Caesar causes all of Rome to turn against the conspirators everything from then on causes tragic events. All of which eventually lead to his death.

Brutus is persuaded by Cassius that Caesar is a liar, too ambitious, weak, and not fit to be Rome’s king. Brutus soon believed Cassius, and they and the conspirators made a plan to kill Caesar. After Caesar’s death, Brutus planned to justify his actions of killing Caesar at his funeral in his speech to the people. After Brutus’s speech, the citizens of Rome were all in agreement that Brutus did the right thing for Rome. Brutus then decides to allow Caesar’s best friend, Antony, to speak in honor of Caesar. Antony speaks, and he convinces the citizens that Brutus’s actions were unjust and turned the people against Brutus.

Brutus' takes advantage of the common love for Rome to show his justice reason of killing Caesar. He uses this mutual interest to defend his murder.

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).

On Caesar’s homecoming from the defeat of Pompey, the Romans cheer and even offer him a crown to be king. The death of Caesar causes much chaos and riots in Rome. The easily manipulated Romans turn themselves against the conspirators and Brutus, and decide to kill them for not being honorable to Julius Caesar. Brutus is an honorable, noble Roman because of his righteous actions.

Brutus the Patriot People are always quick to judge without examining every aspect of a situation. For many years, people have always read about Julius Caesar and have thought that he was a great man that was murdered by a bad man named Marcus Junius Brutus. Brutus made an irrational decision and didn’t stop to think about other options that would stop Caesar in the destruction of Rome. Caesar was even his best friend. What kind of man kills his own best friend?

He said, “not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more,” as well as “I know no personal cause to spurn at him, But for the general.” Although, Brutus thinks he’s doing good for the sake of Rome, his acts out of his own opinion.

Persuasion is one of his specialties and he knows this.  He is very intelligent.  Many times Cassius and the other conspirators propose ideas that Brutus shoots down with ease.  The men do not know how to counter Brutus’ arguments and he wins every one he is faced with throughout Act II.  Brutus also proposes ideas that get all the conspirators favor.
