Why Did Julius Caesar Want To Join The Conspiracy

The lack of evidence makes the defense’s argument that Caesar would have lead Rome astray invalid and simply an assumption made in attempt to heighten Brutus’ credibility. Also, if Brutus did not want to be a part of the conspiracy, why did he let the whole group meet at his house? Why did he stay in touch with Cassius? If Brutus really didn’t want to be part of the assassination, why didn’t he take one of the many opportunities to back out? For example, when the conspiracy showed at his house, in the middle of the night, he let them into his residence without any hesitation.

Should Marcus Brutus join the conspiracy against Julius Caesar? In Act II Brutus is battling an internal conflict on whether or not he should save his dear friend or potentially save the Republic from the power abuse they expect from Caesar. Marcus Brutus should join the conspiracy against Julius Caesar. Caesar will be too powerful to be removed from power if they wait to assassinate him once he has been crowned, Brutus wants to follow the path of his ancestors and continue his family’s legacy and impact on Rome, and Brutus chooses the best interest of the people over his own best interest. Julius Caesar will be too powerful to be removed from power if they wait to assassinate him when he has demonstrated any abuse of power, so in order to save the Republic from the potential threat they must kill him now as he is weak and vulnerable.

Julius Caesar was one of Rome’s most successful and outstanding leaders. The question of whether or not he deserved to die is very simple. No, Julius Caesar did not deserve to be assassinated for the good of Rome because he was the good of Rome. Politically, militaristically, and economically he benefited Rome. Did the conspirators kill Caesar for the good of Rome or for their own personal motives?

To one of the smartest, deliberate, and malicious war generals in history, how did you not see those senators coming? I mean, you received plenty of seemingly obvious signs that something unfavorable would happen to you. Calpurnia warned you, the soothsayer told you to beware the Ides, and the autopsy revealed you had a letter in your hand telling you of the conspiracy. I would think a man of your stature would more than obviously know that something was up. So, was being murdered part of your overall scheme?

There is no doubt that Brutus holds legitimate power over the conspirators, and this, combined with his loyalty to the republic of Rome, gives credence to the idea that the populace can generate and legitimize capable

Brutus and the senators had made a plan to kill Caesar. Even though Caesar was his friend, Brutus joins the conspiracyagainst Caesar’s life because he feels that Caesar’s death is better for Rome. Brutus did not want to allow Caesar to rise to power and turn his back onto the people of Rome. Brutus felt like Caesar was being a dictator. “Which, hatched, would as his kind grow mischievous, And kill him in a shell” (2,1,33-34) Similar to how Cady, Janice and Damian made a plan to destroy Regina.

Julius Caesar was a Powerful Roman politician and general, who served as a god to the Romans. He played a key role in the events that led to the downfall of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman empire. His reign from 49 B.C to 44 B.C illustrated his dominance in controlling a commanding army and ruling a nation. Many historians have different opinions on Caesar's command. Some saw him as a leader for the people, whereas others saw him as a man searching for power and power alone.

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).

People complain that Brutus is just as bad as Caesar, yet Brutus does it for justice of the people. While others explain that the Roman empire will fall due to Brutus’s actions, others will say that he has a high respect of the citizens, and the citizens would know he did the deed for the better good. While some may bicker about Brutus making predictions about the future, he is simply trying to prevent tyranny to get ahold of Rome and the empire. Brutus is the perfect example of anyone in the world, who wants to do the better good for everyone. Should Brutus join the conspiracy against Caesar?

While Brutus maintains noble intentions, Cassius goes into this scheme with every intention of leaving everyone else behind to claim the power for himself, as he has been compelled by their society to do. Cassius tells Brutus that Caesar “doth bestride the narrow world like a Colossus” while convincing him that Caesar is accumulating too much power for one man, despite harboring the belief that all of that power should be his (JC I.ii.142-143). To further prove his point to Brutus, Cassius gives Brutus fake letters telling him that the common people would rather have Brutus in charge than Caesar. While this is just Cassius himself manipulating Brutus, Cassius is motivated by the pressures of their society and Brutus, motivated by the belief that his society wants him to, joins the conspirators in their plot to kill Caesar and take power for themselves. Caught in a vicious cycle of societal pressure, these men continue to fight for power even after they achieve their original goal as evidenced by the civil war that breaks out following the assassination of Julius

There is a possibility that Caesar could turn out to be one of the best leaders Rome has ever seen especially with how he leads his armies. Also Rome would never be the empire it is right now in the story without Caesar being such a great leader this entire time.  Caesar has also not shown any signs of being crazy of having or wanting power. He has denied the crown several times and hasn't gone crazy has a high power general.     One last reason Brutus should not join the conspiracy is Brutus could still be in high power under Caesar.

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.

Cassius manipulates Brutus to the point of making him feel as if there are several people wanting Brutus to do something about Caesar. Cassius also wants to convince Brutus that “Caesar’s ambition shall be glanced at” so they can eliminate his power for fear that “worse days [may] endure”. Cassius is not the only senator wanting to eliminate Caesar’s growing

Cassius is often referred to as a villain in the play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. A villain is a play or stories antagonist. Traits of a villain include manipulative and untrustworthy. Cassius was a known companion of Caesar’s that was an active part in the assassination (Gaius). First of all, Cassius manipulates Brutus and the rest of the conspirators into helping him assassinate Caesar.
