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.

In the play Julius Caesar, written by William Shakespeare, the emperor of Rome is killed by his best friend, Brutus. At the funeral of the fallen ruler, Brutus gives a big speech to the crowd. He tries to explain why he and the other senators had to kill the emperor, Julius Caesar. In the speech, he informs them that Caesar was too ambitious, and says he chose Rome over his dear friend. Once Brutus was done, Marc Antony gave his speech to persuade the crowd that Julius wasn’t ambitious at all.

(II, 10-15) Brutus says the conspiracy is nothing personal towards Caesar. Similarly, Brutus sincerely believes that evil may come rather than the good that may come from Caesar, once he gets full power of Rome. Furthermore, they were both true friends, but Brutus thought the decision of killing Caesar was necessary to free Rome from Caesar's tyranny.

Julius Caesar page 123 line 109. The conversation between Brutus and Cassius eventually leads to both making armies. The war continued when Brutus and the collaborator decided to troop to Rome and fight the Republic against Antony and Octavius. While at war Brutu's side was doing well but was mistaken and which lead to Cassius stabbing himself. Brutus was overwhelmed by the incident and done with himself he fell and cried “O Julius Caesar, thou art mighty yet!

Brutus was an honorable, kind, and noble friend to Julius Caesar. But Brutus was also part of Caesar’s death. Brutus was a man of Rome and was loved by everyone in Rome. Everything he did was for the good of Rome. But due to his lower intellect, he fell for Cassius' sinister plan to kill Caesar.

"(The Tragedy Of Julius Caesar V,iii line 68. Brutus was the tragic hero of The Tragedy Of Julius

In Act 3 Scene 2 Brutus said during his speech, “If that friend then demands to know why Brutus turned against Caesar, this is my answer: Not because I cared for Caesar less, but because I cared for Rome more”. Brutus had courage to kill Caesar, not because he wanted to, but for the good of Rome and its people. During the entirety of the story, Brutus

(Act 3, Scene 1). This quote showcases Caesar’s shock and betrayal upon realizing that even someone he considers a close confidant has joined the conspiracy against him. Caesar’s appeal to the ethos of their friendship emphasizes the depth of his trust in Brutus, highlighting how his flawed judgment in trusting the wrong person plays a significant role in his tragic

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).

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.

In Brutus’s speech he used ethos and logos to try and control the people of Rome. He was stoic and blinded of what Antony was capable of. He wanted to change their minds about the conspiracy and the murder of Caesar. Brutus says “Had you rather Caesar were living, and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men” (III, i, 23-24).

He would have rather watched himself die a thousand deaths than to watch his city in peril. Cassius helped talk Brutus into killing Caesar over jealousy. Brutus only went along with the idea because he knew that Caesar was an improper ruler for rome and its people. Brutus put his city and its people n front of him and that was his tragic flaw. Since brutus put his city before himself t stopped him from thinking what was the best himself.

Brutus says that one of his reasons for killing Caesar was because he was ambitious. Brutus tells the people of Rome that if Rome took Caesar as crown king that all of the people would become slave for that is what Caesar

“If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of Caesar’s to him I say that Brutus’ love to Caesar was no less than his. 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.” Although many people in Rome were happy that Caesar had died, Brutus still loved Caesar and promised to himself that their friendship will never die. Another reason why Brutus was not right to join the conspiracy is because Cassius had convinced Brutus that Caesar was going to make himself a monarch and turned him against his own friend by manipulating him and making Brutus the one to kill Caesar. Brutus’ flaws that he has as a character got the best of him and made it easy for Cassius to use him for the killing of Caesar.
