When he cites Caesar’s ambitiousness in saying,”...as he was ambitious, I slew him.” this is an example of using Ad Hominem. He repetitively uses this seemingly in order to tear down Caesar, and build himself. However, even if it seems this way, it partially is. Brutus is right in saying that Caesar’s ambition had a large hand in his death, but he deserved it. He was overly ambitious, and got what was coming for him. Brutus compensates for this bad-mouthing by going on to honor Caesar and his well-deserved glory. He also says,“...his glory not extenuated, wherein he was worthy…” and further gives kudos to Caesar. Therefore, this counterclaim cannot be held
