Brutus 'Julius Caesar': The Noblest Roman Of Them All

416 Words2 Pages

At the end of the play Brutus is referred to as the noblest Roman of them all. I do not agree with this statement. Yes, Brutus’s intentions were for the greater good of Rome, because Brutus felt if Caesar was crowned he was going to take over Rome and do some serious damage to Rome as they all knew it. However, I believe if Brutus was so noble he would not have killed Caesar who was actually his life long friend. I believe in order for a person to be considered noble they should also show to be loyal as well. The issue here is not a measure of nobleness it is a measure of loyalty and weakness. Brutus himself wanted to be like Caesar. Brutus wanted to have Caesar’s power and influence over the people of Rome. What Brutus did not know is

  • Is Brutus A Betrayer Or A Patriot Essay

    Initially, after reading the story, I was confused on whether or not Brutus counted as a betrayer or a patriot and it seemed almost impossible to find out, but as I thought more on it, I discovered he had limited time before Caesar was officially crowned so he had limited options. However, I believe Brutus was a patriot because instead of joining the conspiracy right away when he is offered the chance by Cassius, he refuses because he does not think Caesar deserves something so harsh. Once Cassius plants the fake notes from Rome Brutus decides to kill Caesar because he doesn’t want the people becoming Caesars slaves. So instead of wanting to kill Caesar out of jealousy like Cassius, he just wanted to kill him in order for him not to turn the people of Rome into slaves. Brutus may also seem like a traitor because he chooses to die rather than be captured and

    And while Brutus did work in part with other conspirators, which eventually led to him killing Caesar, he did it for a more morally sound reason which was that Caesar was going to cause the downfall of Rome because he was too ambitious, which is ironic because Caesar's death led to a string of unfit leaders, and civil unrest that eventually led to the downfall of the roman empire. Brutus was also focused on preventing corruption. “The name of Cassius honors this corruption,/ And chastisement doth therefore hide his head (IV.iii.15-6)... Remember March, the ides of March remember./ Did not great Julius bleed for justice' sake” (IV.iii.18-9).
