Brutus Attitudes Toward Rome In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar

People would view brutus as rogue and a scoundrel. But the truth is is he was blinded by cassius that caesar turn rome’s citizens into worshippers of caesar and his bloodline. forever abolishing Rome’s religion Cassius used brutus to kill caesar and save rome. But it proved that brutus valued rome over the friendship with him and caesar. The aftermath of the assassination of leads to brutus and the others killing themselves in the battle.

After all, I'm sure he had other options for attempting to prevent Caesar from becoming king. If we give it some thought, Brutus initially rejects the offer to kill Caesar, and it wasn't until Cassius started faking letters and spreading false information about Caesar that he agreed to take part in the murder. If it weren't for Cassius, Brutus might never have actually killed Caesar. I think Brutus was a patriot and a traitor.

But this fault also caused Brutus’ demise. With him trying to do anything (and he did anything) to protect Rome, which caused Cassius to be killed, Brutus to bottle up emotions, and in the end, Brutus killing

Lastly, Brutus wants the best for Rome, he wants to protect them. And having Caesar as ruler would not be safe for Rome. Brutus comes to the conclusion that killing Caesar is the only solution when he says “It must be by his death.” If the conspirators were to try and stop Caesar from taking the throne they would either be exiled or killed.

Some believe that Brutus killed Caesar only to take the throne himself. Caesar and Brutus were the best of friends. Although friends, he agreed with the other conspirators that Caesar was not fit to be king,king, he only took into account the facts. The facts were that Caesar was trying to take the indescribable power away from the people of Rome and into his own hands, and Brutus could not let this happen

Brutus would also be a good leader for Rome if he wanted to be, considering he wants Rome to thrive and not have an ignorant leader. Although taking Caesar down seems like the right thing to do there are many other opinions on it. Brutus could simply just talk to Caesar about the situation and try to resolve it but he does not know how Caesar will react, he might turn on Brutus and kill him or put him in jail. The conspiracy also never really gives a good reason they should execute Caesar.

Brutus has a vision, and he intends it to work out in every way he plans. In a sense he achieves what he wants, and killing Caesar may have been crucial to his short-lived success.

When Brutus was talking to the conspirators Brutus was going back and forth think if he should help the conspirators kill Julius Caesar. He was going back and forth because he was thinking of the power he could have and could rule Rome. The reason behind Brutus killing Caesar was for the better of Rome. If Brutus would not have killed Caesar, Rome would have turned into a dictatorship, and in turn it would have ruined Rome and all of its people. Brutus did not kill Julius just for the power to rule Rome, he killed Julius to save Rome from Caesar’s dictatorship.

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).

Brutus wasn’t the smartest or brightest guy in Rome, but he was the most loyal one to Rome other than Caesar, and another thing about him is he always told the truth no matter what. Cassius, Brutus’s brother-in-law, manipulated Brutus into killing Caesar because he thought Caesar was getting too powerful for Rome. Now Brutus didn't agree to it right away because he was struggling with his love for Caesar and his love towards the Republic of Rome. Cassius says,” Tonight I will throw a few letters in different handwriting saying how great Brutus is and how ambitious Caesar is.” (Act, 1 line

Brutus’s tragic flaw was that he was naive. He trusted people to easily, especially the conspirators. They used him to make their actions seem honorable and just. When reality they just wanted Caesar dead for their own personal gain. Caesar was Brutus’s friend so it took him some convincing for him to be able to justify his actions.

Brutus realized the great harm Caesar could bring to Rome if the was crowned king. Although Brutus was easily persuaded by Cassius to go as far as committing a murder, Brutus did it because he thought that it was the best for Rome. Brutus does what he thinks is the absolute best for Rome which really shows his great honor and

He would be crowned. How that might change his nature, there’s the question”. The change was Brutus’s main fear and that if Caesar was granted the crown he would abuse his power. Even though Brutus’s decision of killing Caesar seems harsh, his morals reflect him to be the only nobleman out of the conspirators. His adversary, Marc Antony, goes on to state, “This was the noblest Roman of them all.

Cassius saves the life of Caesar, sees him beg for water, and witnesses his epileptic seizure. From these weaknesses, Cassius finds himself to be just as worthy of the crown as is Caesar. His reasons are emotionally tied to getting rid of Caesar, Brutus chooses to become a conspirator for the good of Rome. He does not know how Caesar will use his power.

However, whether Brutus loved the Roman people or not, the murder of Caesar was still an act of treachery, as the Roman people wanted him as their ruler. While it may have merely been the fickleness of the crowd that allowed Caesar to become so popular, if it was the fickleness of the crowd that made him popular, then by the fickleness he should have become the ruler of Rome.
