Portia!
She is dead.
How 'scaped I killing when I crossed you so?
Oh, insupportable and touching loss!
Upon what sickness?
Impatient of my absence,
And grief that young Octavius with Mark Antony
Have made themselves so strong for with her death
That tidings came with this she fell distract,
And, her attendants absent, swallowed fire.
And died so?
Even so.
O ye immortal gods!
Speak no more of her. Give me a bowl of wine.
In this I bury all unkindness, Cassius."
( IV, iii, 141-158)
The people of Rome respected Brutus greatly. The conspirators
thought very highly of him and wanted him to be part of their scheme
against Julius Caesar. If they could get Brutus to join in on the plan the
people might think it was all right that they killed the great Caesar.
" O Cassius, if you could
But win the noble Brutus to our party"
( I, iii, 140-141)
The people respected Brutus. They thought he was a very wise and noble …show more content…
"What means this shouting? I do fear the people
Choose Caesar for their king.
Aye, do you fear it?
Then must I think you would not have it so.
I would not, Cassius, yet I love him well.
But wherefore do you hold me here so long?
What is it that you would impart to me?
If it be ought toward the general good,
Set honor in one eye and death i' the other,
And I will look on both indifferently;
For let the gods so speed me as I love
The name of honor more than I fear death
I know that virtue to be true in you, Brutus,...."
( I, ii, 79-90)
Brutus had thought very deeply about joining the conspiracy. He had stayed
up all night brooding about it. He feared that Caesar was gaining too much
power and that soon Caesar would become king. If Caesar became king
Brutus's dreams of Rome's Democracy would be shattered.
In conclusion Brutus was a very well respected man in Rome.
