He was persuaded into political extremism which pushed him to conspire with envious senators and ultimately, participate in the brutal assassination of Caesar, who was ruthlessly stabbed 33 times, so he could become active ruler in Rome in the works of William Shakespeare derived from the play Julius Caesar. Brutus was a great and close friend of Julius Caesar, but Cassius took advantage of Brutus because he was jealous of Julius. Brutus was a patriot and just wanted to do the right thing for Rome and make sure Julius was not going to become king.
Brutus was a truthful man and wanted to know what the people thought about Julius. So Cassius tried to bribe Brutus with fake letters from the people, and decided he would team with the other senators and kill Julius Caesar for the good of Rome. Caesar was a tragic hero because he loved Rome and tried to take care of Rome though he desired power as king of Rome. But Brutus never wanted to be like Caesar by taking the crown.
He wanted to be an honorable man and not taking the crown that would make him. I also believe Brutus was a patriot because of the speech he made to the people about why he had murdered Caesar. Flavius Annoyed with the crowd because they are too fickle. What conquest brings he home? So his loyalty must lie instead to Cassius. Commoners The commoners are celebrating on Caesars victory over Pompey. He is Caesars right hand man. The hardest character to determine was the hero Brutus, by analyzing his loyalty, background, and his intentions, one can determine that Brutus was a hero to Rome.
In the beginning, Brutus is walking with Caesar. He even helps him when a soothsayer. In the play of Shakespeare Julius Caesar, Antony plays a major role, as a leader, showing love, respect and always being loyal to Julius Caesar. Antony has always been showing these traits towards Julius Caesar identifying him as the noblest man in Rome. By the end of this play, Julius Caesar is killed and Antony gets inspired in getting revenge. Caesar often falls victim to manipulation and betrayal by not only his colleagues, but his closest and most trusted friends.
Despite the many traitors in his life, some select few remained loyal to him. Two characters in particular seem to stand out as the loyal companion and the deceitful betrayer.
Antony and Brutus exemplify trustworthy characteristics and are well liked by. This quote truly describes the characters in Julius Caesar. They all try their best to suppress their flaws and stich them together with good qualities. Each of the characters in Julius Caesar has flaws and they all have the same weakness: lust for power. Julius Caesar and Cassius definitely have the most prominent flaws in this play. Greed in Julius Caesar Greed can disrupt a family, town, or even a country.
The play "Julius Caesar" was a great example of the power of greed. Cassius was the brother in-law of Brutus and was also the creator of the group of conspirators. Cassius was also a senator of Rome. Cassius's greed for power, good reputation, and his jealousy lead to Caesars death. Cassius had the most honorable. He has to decide whether or not to join the conspiracy, which is to kill his best friend Caesar or let him get crowned king.
Thoughout the play he has to decide and his choice may effect Rome forever. Flavius and Murellus are initially angry because they see a number of commoners neglecting their work. They are upset that the people turned their affections so quickly to Caesar, and that Caesar is becoming too self-important. Even though Flavius and Murellus do not appear again in the play, they are the first to voice the distrust of Caesar that eventually leads to his murder later in the play. Caesar goes to the Senate because his ambition surpasses his desire to comfort his wife.
Midway through the scene, Decius—one of the conspirators—arrives to escort Caesar to the Senate. Knowing that he needs to convince Caesar to come, Decius tells two lies. Second, Decius says the Senate plans to crown Caesar the first emperor of Rome. Later, this plan goes awry. Cassius kills himself with the same sword that killed Caesar because he believes his friend Titinius has been captured by enemy troops.
Cassius sends Titinius to ride to a distant camp and determine whether the camp belongs to friends or enemies. The audience learns immediately after Cassius dies that Titinius was never captured and is alive among friends.
Cassius thus kills himself for no good reason. Although he appeared politically savvy and cunning throughout the play, Cassius proves in the final act he is not as shrewd as the audience is led to believe. The conspirators justify the assassination of Caesar by claiming that they want to preserve the Roman Republic, in which no one is king and the ruling aristocrats are equals.
If Caesar claims absolute power and becomes crowned as king, the Roman Republic will end as they know it.
