Brutus & Booth Essay
Brutus and John Wilkes Booth both commited very dire deeds by killing the leader of their time because they felt they were a tyrant. Coming from very different times, they both had the same motive which was to protect their country from the leader.

“My was purer than either of theirs. One hoped to be great himself. The other had not only his country's but his own.” Although Booth didn't want to be thought of as Brutus who killed to gain power which at first wasn't his first initial plan.
