Brutus Attitudes In Julius Caesar
Brutus's wife, Portia, killed herself by swallowed hot coals because she was worried about Brutus absence, and about the fact that Octavius and Mark Antony have grown so strong. In return, Brutus responded in a stoically way to show that he is a good commander, doesn't easily get distracted by emotional feelings, and his duty to protect Rome is much more important than his wife death.

Brutus want to march his army to Philippi to face the triumvirate's army at Philippi, while Cassius want Brutus to let his troop stay input and wait for the triumvirate's army to come. Brutus won the argument, so Cassius have to give in with Brutus's plan.

Throughout this scene, I haven't change any opinions about any major characters, but I learned that Brutus

    Throughout Cassius’ speech, he used the persuasive appeals logos, pathos, and ethos to try to turn Brutus against Caesar. Out of all three appeals, I believe he used ethos best. In Act 1, Scene 2, one of the first things Cassius says when he is alone with Brutus is, “Well honour is the subject of my story.” In other words, Cassius is saying, “Brutus, you can trust me because I am a very trustworthy person.” This persuades Brutus into listening to what Cassius has to say because it makes him feel as if he can trust in what Cassius is saying. Then, as Cassius continues to talk he says, “I, as Aneas, our great ancestor, did from the flames of Troy upon his shoulder the old Anchises bear, so from the waves of Tiber did I the tired Caesar.” Here,…

    Many health care facilities have a hard time keeping up with claims and payments in medical records. Some facilities hire people just to handle these tasks. If not properly monitored, it can cause problems in patients’ accounts. Health care facilities use electronic medical records to improve profitability while reducing the time it takes to submit and receive payment for claims. Many of the facilities purchase software with billing and claims. Some of the advantages of using the EMR system is that they can improve patient care. There is less potential for medical errors as well as improved quality and safety in patient care. Another advantage is that it allows more time to spend with patients Physicians and nurses have more time to spend with patients rather than wasting entirely too much of valuable time searching for, waiting for, and correcting information EMRs create more time for the work we are trained to do. Currently, as healthcare professionals, we spend as much time performing administrative tasks as we do caring for our patients. Some of the disadvantages are the expensive start-up costs and the costs of training that is involved. Another disadvantage is that there are many EMR systems and many facilities may use a different system other than the patient’s primary care facility, and those records may not be available to at the time of the patient’s visit. An example of a challenged faced when implementing a universal EMR system is choosing a proper systematic approach to the identity problem and training health care personnel to work with a paperless…

    In each of Antony’s speeches, he displays a type of poetic eloquence that causes them to be beautiful as well as effective. In his eulogy of Caesar, Antony claims to be a “…plain blunt man…” (III. ii. 212), but we soon find this to be far from the truth. Antony later uses metaphor to tell the people that if he were a good orator as Brutus is, he would raise the people up against the conspirators. He does this by saying “But were I Brutus, and Brutus Antony, there were an Antony would ruffle up your spirits and put a tongue in every wound of Caesar should move the stones of Rome to rise and mutiny.” (221-225). His use of figurative language here subtly yet adequately shows the people his desire for their support against the conspirators. Antony…

    “Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.” This is a famous quote from Brutus regarding Julius Caesar. Brutus was manipulated by the conspirators into killing his best friend Caesar. From his guilt, Brutus ends up killing himself. But before his own death, Brutus and Caesar’s friend, Antony, give a speech regarding the death of Caesar. Brutus’s funeral speech in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare was most effective due to his use of pathos, ethos, and logos.…

    Cady and Brutus

    Brutus’s rigid idealism is both his greatest virtue and his most deadly flaw. In the world of the play, where self-serving ambition seems to dominate all other motivations, Brutus lives up to Antony’s elegiac description of him as “the noblest of Romans.” However, his commitment to principle repeatedly leads him to make mistakes that cost him much: wanting to curtail violence, he ignores Cassius’s suggestion that the conspirators kill Antony as well as Caesar. In another moment of rampant idealism, he again ignores Cassius’s advice and allows Antony to speak a funeral oration over Caesar’s body. As a result, Brutus forfeits the authority of having the last word on the murder and thus allows Antony to incite the shocked Roman crowd to riot against Brutus and the other conspirators. This is similar to when Regina George incites the entire school into chaos using the “burn book.” Brutus later endangers his good relationship with Cassius by self-righteously condemning what he sees as…

    Honorable or not? Julius Caesar written by William Shakespeare was a tragedy consisting many events. The tragedy of Julius Caesar began in Rome when the people of Rome are taking a holiday to celebrate the triumphant return of Julius Caesar.

    Cassius makes the assumption “Than must I think you would not have it so,”. Displaying Brutus’s uneasy feelings towards Caesar makes Brutus more aware of this idea and opens it up to discussion. By doing this Cassius can expand on the fearfulness of Caesar. To do this he claims, “I was born free as Caesar; so were you: We both have fed as well, and we can both Endure the winter’s cold as well as he,”. This statement of equality revealed that Caesar is an equal to them and he has no reason to be placed on a pedestal of honor. With this claim that Caesar is not worthy to be king, Cassius tells Brutus that they should be ashamed of what they have allowed to happen in Rome. He calls Brutus to bring Rome back to the way it should be. Since Brutus is seen as a man of honor, he feels compelled to carry on this and do something about Caesar. Using claims such as these that will provoke Brutus are important and give more reasoning for the killing of…

    Brutus may have said that his actions were for the good of all of Rome, but even a villain can backup his motifs. “Brutus: If then that friend demand why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer: Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more” (Act 3: Scene II: Lines 20-24). During the end of the play, Mark Antony, the leader of the opposing army and Caesar's friend, admitted Brutus as being the Noblest Roman of them all: “Antony: 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.” (Act V: Scene 5: Lines 68-72). Brutus did believe that his actions were for the good of the people and what he was doing was for the good, but that was where he strayed off of the path of justice.…

    As the news of Caesar’s death reached the majority of Rome, people were shocked and wanted answers of his death. Which Brutus gave, and most of them seemed to agree. Brutus convinced them of how it was necessary for the betterment of Rome and its people. He spoke in a clear factual tone. However it seemed that there was more than what Brutus was letting on, like how he wanted the throne for himself. Then Mark Anthony comes in and convinces everyone to change their mind again surrounding Caesar’s death, that it was wrong and they were being manipulated, explaining how Caesar only wanted best of Rome. Though we don’t know the legitimacy of his words, he was emotionally distressed and some could argue that it clouded his judgement. Also the repetition of his argument doesn’t really help either for his argument. However Mark Antony seems to have a more compelling argument.…
