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 noble because everything he did was for the good of Rome. Throughout the story Brutus was seen as a powerful public figure. He was a great friend to Caesar and a good husband to his wife. Brutus always put Rome before himself. This proves his nobility because he was not selfish and he thought of his people before himself. He is also seen as noble because he was faithful to his wife and his friends. …show more content…
Cassius, a longtime acquaintance of Caesar did not like the Fact that Caesar was becoming too powerful, he then sent false letter to Brutus’ house tricking him into the assassination. 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
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 for the betterment and out of the love for Rome. After the assassination of Caesar, Brutus orders: “And let us bathe our hands in Caesar’s blood / Up
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.
Indeed, Brutus was a honorable man. His honor was his greatest strength, but it was also his weakness. He murdered and betrayed his closest and only friend, due to the fact that he was so focused on doing the most honorable thing. Brutus focused more on principles, than the one person who truly cared about him. Consequently he also cared more about principle, than his own common sense. Therefore, his main focus was on honor and principle, which caused him to kill Caesar. He murdered Caesar because he thought it would solve the problem, but it only caused pandemonium.Consequently, his actions produced an angry mob, ready to avenge Caesar's death. If Brutus never took matters into his own hands, he would not have created a vicious crowd of citizens filled with hatred. He never solved the problem. When it got out of control, he resorted to killing himself. Cowardly, when things got tough, he ran away from it. He
The play Julius Caesar, end with Antony refers to Brutus by Saying “This was the noblest Roman of them all.” “This was the noblest Roman of them all”, refers to Octavian. Octavian was strong smart, ambitious and .irrational. Octavian was young and had a lot of good characteristic. Octavian strengths and weakness will be told so he can be the “noblest Roman of them all.”
Moreover, Brutus is a high-powered man who holds great prestige before all Romans because of his nobility.
The least honorable character of Julius Caesar is Brutus because he is not an honorable man. It’s very obvious that he is not honorable. He broke trust and that alone proves that he is not honorable. He turned his back on a friend and then acted like everything was okay. He was very easily persuaded which leads what, is what lead him to commit murder.
Kattie Chiu Mrs. Violette Honors English Block A 8 April 2024. Roman Heroes are Honorable Roman heroes are honored even if they are on the enemy team. In the play, Julius Caesar, written by Shakesphere, Brutus shows that he is a roman hero by killing someone based on the safety of Rome, taking on a war, and getting complimented by the enemy. To show that Brutus is a Roman hero, he portrays traits of a public figure from “Obligations of Nobility”, a Roman Honor from “A Roman’s Honor” by Cicero, and a Roman Nobility from “The Fasces and Roman Nobility”. In the play, the main character Brutus joins the conspirators to kill Julius Caesar, someone who wants to rule ancient Rome.
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
Brutus was a man of noble birth. He had multiple servants and was often referred to as “Lord”, which indicates a certain level of respect for him. He was a very highly thought of
I am now going to discuss Cassius. I would say that Cassius was a very
Both Brutus’ and Cassius’ characterizations are results of Shakespeare’s biased dialogue. Throughout the play, Brutus is continuously described as being noble and honorable. The first mention of this is early on in the play. Cassius, when trying to persuade Brutus to join the conspirators, praises Brutus by saying “noble Brutus” and “good Brutus” (page 17, line 68, 72). During Antony’s funeral speech, he repeats over and over “Brutus is an
The main reason that Marcus Brutus deserves the title of tragic hero is his noble personality. First of all, throughout the play, he never deceives anyone. Although he did murder Julius Caesar, it was for the good of Rome, not to deceive Caesar. Everything that he did was for the benefit of someone else. Even though he killed Antony's best friend, Antony still recognized Brutus as "the noblest Roman of them all." He does this in Act 5, Scene 5, after Brutus' death because Brutus the only conspirator that actually killed Caesar because he "loved Caesar less but loved Rome more." He cared more about others than he did himself. For instance, in the process of killing Caesar, he could have easily backed out because he knew he might have been punished, but he knew in the long run, that it would help the plebeians most. Another example of his selflessness is in Act 2, Scene 1. Brutus decides not to tell Portia his plans for the murder of Caesar. He feels she already has enough stress in her life and does not need to worry or deal with his plans.
In the play Julius Caesar, several people compete to be the leader of Rome. Cassius and other conspirators are jealous of Caesar, and they want to kill him for revenge. Brutus doesn’t want to be part of the conspiracy, but is tricked into becoming a head member, due to his strong leadership qualities of honor, trustworthiness, and patriotism. Brutus loves the republic, but is tricked into believing Caesar would hurt the republic. Brutus would be an effective leader because he exhibits honor, trustworthiness, and patriotism.
“This was the noblest roman of them all” Mark Anthony said about Brutus in the play Julius Caesar, after Brutus had killed himself at the battle of Philippi. Although Brutus had participated in the assassination of Julius Caesar, Mark Anthony, Julius’s nephew, was praising Brutus as a noble person. But how was he noble?
Brutus is considered “the noblest of them all” because of a few reasons. One of the reasons is that he was very reluctant to kill Caesar. Brutus was the only person out of the group, which included, Cassius, and Casca who did not envy Caesar. Brutus did not have a vendetta against Caesar. The only reason why Brutus chose to aid in the murder of Julius Caesar was because he thought it was for the good of Rome. He did not assassinate Caesar for personal gain, nor for any bad intentions, but for the greater good of Rome.
