Alike John Wilkes Booth, who killed Abraham Lincoln, Brutus was also under the assumption that he was doing good on behalf of the people. Brutus, while under the influence of others opinions, thought that Caesar would not be a good leader and his rule would not benefit Rome or it’s people. One way he was under the influence of others is the quote where Cassius states, “I will this night, In several hands in at his windows throw, As if they came from several citizens, Writings, all tending to the great opinion That Rome holds of his name”(Shakespeare 1. 2.). Cassius plants fake letters from the “citizens” because he knows he can not change Brutus’s mind about joining the conspiracy but he knows the citizens can.…
Introduction “Cowards die many times before their death; the valiant never taste of death but once.” At the point when Caesar said this, he knew he would kick the bucket and on account of Brutus. Brutus cherished Rome and would not have liked to see Rome devastated on account of Julius Caesar. Cassius inquired as to why was Caesar to be the lord when Brutus was pretty much as honorable and awesome as Caesar.it turns out Brutus was both a loyalist of Rome and a double crosser of Julius Caesar. He is a nationalist for cherishing Rome enough to protect it, however he is a trickster in light of the fact that he slaughtered Caesar.…

Julius Caesar is yet another tragedy by Shakespeare. This play illustrates how emotion and manipulation can influence people into immoral actions.

William Shakespeare's plays especially “Julius Caesar” have a unique take on life,great themes,and truth behind his words. I could see where Brutus was coming from in this play,envy can go a long way and get out of control. What I didn't like about him is that he let other influences the decisions he should've made as a man. I know nobody's perfect but a saying my World History Teacher says is “ A great leader is always both loved and feared,if you are one in the other then your people will always rebel”. My favorite character was Julius Caesar because i feel like I can relate to him more.…
Brutus said “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.20-23).

William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Julius Caesar provides some insight into the minds of revolutionaries that attempt to help their people, even if they have to commit a crime. Shakespeare attempts to make his play historically accurate, and one of the most important historical details of the setting of the play is the political structure in Rome at the time. Rome’s popular democracy depended on involved citizens coming together to make intelligent decisions that would benefit the entire country. Caesar would have disrupted this democratic balance by accepting the power that was being offered to him, but he never had the chance to do so. Instead, Brutus violated the principle of democracy first; he and a small group of conspirators made an…

despite the sinister intentions of his conspirators, every action by Brutus was done for the greater good of Rome.
