Marcus Junius Brutus the Younger

12 Angry Men. Even though these plays were created at different time periods and completely different plots, both of them have one theme in common, Persuasion.

In Julius Caesar, Brutus succeeds in explain and convincing the citizen of Roman that the killing of Caesar was for the benefit of the country. “Here comes his…

To some the answer is unclear. To others the answer might be that he was first to die. But sill to others the answer lies in the fact that Caesar was the first to be corrupted by power and by extension corrupted Antony, Brutus, and Cassius. Not to mention that all of the events that happen after Caesars death most certainly would have never happened if he had not been killed. So as you can see Julius Caesar was definitely a tragic hero due to the combination of his flaws…

much more the persuasive speaker than Brutus thought him to be. Brutus should have listened to Cassius about not letting Anthony speak on behalf of Caesar's funeral. Anthony knew how to stroke the crowd into believing that he had no special qualities or talents that could ever come up with such an outrageous plot to kill Caesar. Anthony used Brutus as an example to prove to the Romans everything that he wasn’t. Anthony to the attention from him and put it on Brutus and Cassius and in return made…

“Words are potent weapons for all causes, good or bad” (Manly Hall). This compelling idea is brought up various times in Julius Caesar and on Earth today. Julius Caesar was a tragedy written by William Shakespeare in 1599 A.D. The plot in this story, is seen to be embodied by the idea, that words are robust.

several man, seventy-five drachmas” (3.2.241-243). Caesar shows his love for the people and everyone knows this. Antony says in his speech, “For Brutus, as you know, was Caesar’s angel judge, O you gods, how dearly Caesar loved him” (3.2.182-183). This shows how Brutus knows Caesar loved him but still wanted to go against him, which was wrong on Brutus’ part. If someone loves you, you should give them the same respect back. Caesar cared about the people and…

Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, Brutus is a tragic hero because he is easily manipulated, he trusts the wrong people, and he became power hungry. With Brutus carrying these traits threw out the play: one could argue that he is a tragic hero because he rose to the top and with undeserving traits, Brutus then fell. Brutus is a tragic hero because he was easily manipulated. When Brutus said “Since the quarrel will break no color” (11,1,28-29) this illustrates that Brutus is easily manipulated…

In The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, written by William Shakespeare, there are many differences in the speeches between Brutus and Antony, such as tone, loyalty towards Caesar, and emotions and logic. Brutus’s speech tone is grave, because he is very serious and straight forward while he is talking to the crowd. Brutus uses the line, “Not that I loved Caesar less, but I loved Rome more.” (III.ii.21-22) Antony’s speech about the death of Caesar is heartfelt because Antony really loved Caesar and is…

paralleling to Caius Cassius’ personality through the both their deaths and Caesar’s fear of Cassius.These parallels are set to to demonstrate that Caesar,himself, would be part of his own fall. At the start of this tragedy Julius Caesar,after brutus and cassius discuss going against him,expresses his distaste for Cassius’ body size.Caesar describes Cassius with a lean and “ hungry look” and implies that Cassius seems like a man who is dissatisfied without power (1.2.204). Shakespeare…

Caesar cannot even swim! We need somebody deserving to lead our city. Brutus is the right man for the job, he just needs to understand this. Brutus is a great man, and the people of Rome like him, so he is perfect for us. Cinna, Casca, Metellus and others are working with me to devise a plan to end Caesar for good. We just need to get Brutus on our side, and then everything will fall into place. I, personally will convince Brutus that Caesar has become too powerful, and that he is going to…
