Brutus's Expectation In Julius Caesar

Because of this, Caesar was able to

On March 15, 44 BC, a group of senators assassinated Julius Caesar. A mix of political, personal, and ideological reasons motivated his murder. Numerous primary accounts of the Ides of March illustrate Caesar’s behaviour as easily avoidable and a prime instigator for his assassination. However, since senators who voted for Caesar’s honours simultaneously despised Caesar’s authority and his grateful reception of the decrees, it seems that regardless of Caesar’s behaviour, his assassination was inevitable. Due to the changing political climate, Caesar’s defeat of Pompey, the senator’s decisions to bequeath many honours upon Caesar, and the negative reactions to Caesar’s reception or rejection of titles such as ‘king,’ Caesar’s assassination

“But men never listen to what we women say, and look at him now.” Caesar was taken to the capitol by, Brutus, Cassius, Ligarius, Metellus, Casca, Trebonius, and Cinna. “Caesar was so strong minded. I tried to give him the warning letter, I awaited him on the path I knew he was going

Why, companions, you don 't comprehend what you 're doing yet. What has Caesar done to merit your adoration? Oh dear, you don 't have the foggiest idea. I should disclose to you then. You 've overlooked the will I outlined for you.

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.

Caesar believes this will strengthens the position of power in other to be more effective and therefore made himself a

As dictator, Caesar seemed to lose all touch with reality. In the Ides of March section of this source, he forced Romans to build him a palace and construct a statue of him next to the early Roman kings. However, he refused to allow anyone to call him a king. For example, he rejected a crown placed on his head by Marc Antony. Caesar’s assassination provided historical context that complete dictatorship was not always the best option.

When Brutus spoke about his motives to kill Caesar he said, “As he was valiant I / honor him. But, as he was ambitious, I slew him.” (3.2.27-28). Brutus honored Caesar but saw that his ambition has the potential of being very dangerous. He thought that a danger like Caesar could not be left to grow more powerful when there is a solution to the issue now.

Brutus tries to impress the crowd by saying that Caesar was going to become a dictator. “Had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men?” (ii. III.L 22-24). Brutus gives this reason to make the people think this murderous act was honorable.

Caesar was being a tyrant which means he wanted power, fame, fortune and he wouldn’t stop until he got what he

The mention of the name “Julius Caesar” evokes a variety of different images in people’s minds. Some would think “dictator,” others, “leader” or “influential,” and even so, among others, “an arrogant asshole.” Whatever the world’s opinion of Caesar, it is an indisputable fact that he completely transformed the Roman Republic into a strong Roman Empire. Caesar has a rather lengthy track record for positions held in the political sphere, thus making him the epitome of what one would define as a political success. The leading contributing factor in this success was the crucial political alliances he formed.

Lucius Junius Brutus was an ancestor to Brutus and Brutus doesn't want to let down his ancestor by letting Caesar destroy the Republic. Everybody knows people don't want to let down their ancestors even if they're dead. Brutus is a very loyal person and knows he has to be loyal to his family's name by joining the conspiracy to kill Caesar. The letters that Cassius forged convince Brutus to join the conspiracy.

This once again shows Brutus’ convincing ways. Brutus eventually persuades everyone to go along with his own ideas instead of Cassius’, who was the original planner behind the

Brutus. Do you know them? Lucius. No sir; their hats are pulled over their ears and faces are half covered by their coats. So there is no way to tell who they

Julius Caesar chooses his free will and ignores his fate. Many people tried to warn him. How many times has he been told not to go to the senate! In his arrogance, he follows his free will and
