Caesar and Brutus’ hubris lead them to their downfall because of how they think other Romans see them. Caesar's hubris led him to misjudge how other Romans saw him, leading to his assassination. He believed he was superior, ignorant of the fact that some Romans thought his ambition would destroy Rome. This caused him to be unaware of his fellow senators conspiring against him. Caesar spoke to the conspirators; “But I am as constant as the northern star, / Of whose true-fix’d and resting quality / There is no fellow in the firmament” (Shakespeare 3. 1. 60-63). This indicates that he thinks this is how all Romans perceive him. His hubris led him to this misconception, which cost him his life. Likewise, Brutus took his life because he didn’t
One of the big reasons Brutus and the senate killed Caesar was because they believed that he was going to be too ambitious; in reality Caesar had not shown any sign of being ambitious, Brutus was just manipulated
Brutus only relied on his honorability and thought that would be enough, but it
Live, live!” No one wanted Brutus to kill himself. This is a confirmation that the people believed Brutus killed Caesar for honorable
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
Introduction Errors will always occur in any business where people do activities. The rise of Julius Caesar to power and the subsequent fall of the Roman Republic in 27 BCE were caused by faults in the Roman Republic, including economic issues, government corruption, criminality, and private armies. I'll talk about how private armies ended the Roman Republic and some other minor reasons in this journal. Then I make suggestions for how to lessen the impact of these private armies.
In Julius Caesar, both Brutus, and Caesar die because they suffer from a critical main character disease named ‘hubris’. Brutus thinks of himself as a savior of Rome because he killed Caesar. When the conspirators knock of his door, Brutus acknowledges his visitors and he asks them to consider how loyal they are, “Sham’st thou to show thy dangerous brow” (Shakespeare, 2.1.78). His placement in this scene shows his way to seem in a higher standing than others.
Brutus conspired against his friend Julius Caesar out of loyalty, love and patriotism to his country and his people. Whereas Cassius began a conspiracy against his leader out of greed and selfishness, to gain superiority and full control over Rome to hold the high level of leadership
Although Brutus believed he was better fit for Rome than Caesar, he was not fully convinced as you can tell before he stabs Caesar. Brutus was hesitant to kill Caesar, Brutus must’ve became overwhelmed by the whole senate glaring at him and couldn’t think what to do for a while. This is relevant today in the world; kids all around the world try to stay away from drugs, negative, and etc. Their peers are the ones are who manipulate them by using peer pressuring them, just as Brutus was peer pressured by the majority of the Rome senate. Julius Caesar was astonished that Brutus was also involved in his assassination, as he said “Et tu Brutus?”
Although Brutus loved and respected Caesar he was forced or influenced to kill him, because all the other men like Cassius and Casca were telling him that he was no good and that the only thing he wanted was power so Brutus didnt know what to do kill him or not kill him; therefore when it came to the asassination he was the last person to stab Caesar and he saw that everyone else stabbed him he had to too. Does this represent all of us humans not with assassination but with other people and our behavior. Shakespeare had a reason why he wrote this play and he wanted to tell us a message in it, but what was it. William Shakespeare the author of The tragedy of Julius Ceaesar wrote the play to show the unexpected death of Julius Caesar.
But in the end, Brutus felt he had not made an honorable use of Caesar’s death and realized he made a mistake so he took his own life, and unlike Cassius, he died an honorable death for honorable reasons. “This was the noblest Roman of them all./ All the conspirators save only he/ Did that they did in envy of great Caesar./ He only in a general honest thought/ And common good to all, made one of them”
If Brutus thought about killing Caesar before actually doing it he may have made a better decision and prevented the death of himself and many others
Brutus loves Caesar but knows he has to kill him for the good of rome. He says, “I know
The people of Rome along with the conspirators convinced him to kill his former friend, Caesar. His last words before killing Caesar were “not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.” (III.II.19-24) This shows that he cared more about the society and people of Rome, than his friend. It also shows how they could influence him to turn against his friend.
Brutus has negatively affected the outlook of Rome and created more harm than good for the situation. Not only did it harm Rome, but it brought his own demise and hallucinations of Caesar’s ghost. Brutus’s speech to the plebeians after Caesar’s death, about his dilemma and his viewpoint towards Caesar, influenced the viewpoints of the plebeians and causes them to believe he is the best roman until Antony speaks to them. Brutus’s idealism led to his own death later on and brought him more misery than his idealism could
