    I believe that Brutus has remained as honorable as he appeared in Act One. For a few reason one being that he did not feel a need to kill Antony. He explained that he did not want to seem as a killer that there is no need for them to kill Antony since Caesar is going to be dead without Caesar Antony is nothing. This shows how he de does not wish to be a murder and stay honorable to the people he does not desire their feelings to get destroyed. Another reason is the entire reason he decided to kill Caesar is for the people not just for himself.…

    Within the play Julius Caesar, as an audience, we are asked to question every character’s virtue. As the play progresses these lines between good and bad men become increasingly blurred, making it harder for the audience to distinguish the wrong from the right. Ultimately it would appear that every character is filled with both evil and good and it seems as though throughout this play Shakespeare is trying to highlight the unrealism attached to such simplistic ideas. Within Medieval England morality plays were very popular, with one character being clearly bad and another clearly good, but throughout Julius Caesar the audience is shown that every person has their evil side and that life needs a more complex explanation than a simple ‘right…

    It is commonly debated whether Brutus is a patriot or a betrayer. After analyzing his dialogue, his actions, and his interactions with those around him, I fully support the notion that Brutus is a patriot, and not a betrayer. “What villain touch'd his body, that did stab, and not for justice?” Brutus states in Act 4, proving that he is aware that Caesar’s assassination was committed as some sort of act of justice. Some may attempt to counter my argument, and state that Brutus is a betrayer, and not a patriot, but I firmly believe that the intensity of his actions against Caesar only proves that he is a patriot because he was willing to sacrifice his relationship with Caesar and kill him for the good of his empire, Rome.…

    Towards the end of the story Brutus decides to kill himself because he believes that “it is more worthy to leap in ourselves Than tarry till they push us.” (V.v.28-29) Brutus is honorable even in his death because he kills himself contrasting to Cassius’ death as he dies with his eyes closed when his slave stabs him.

    The distinction over the characterization of Brutus as a patriot or a betrayer is a hot topic for debate in the literary world, and as such, there are many points to be made for the depiction of Brutus as a betrayer. However, these claims are inherently based on little truth and fundamentally wrong as they are not backed by as much evidence and lack an understanding of who Brutus is as a character. Those that define Brutus as a betrayer claim that Brutus works only based off of assumptions and what other people tell him to do. In other words, he doesn’t bother to do his own research. On the contrary, this idea is flawed as Brutus deeply trusted his fellow senators and had no reason to doubt what they said.…
