What part does Brutus play in this? Brutus is a very loyal man, he was just more loyal to Rome. This was his downfall. When Brutus gave his speech he was very choppy and factual.

This helped win the people’s hearts instead of their minds. Cassius, the deceitful leader of the conspirators,…

I believe Brutus is a cowardice, weak, and loving man who wants only the best for Rome. Brutus loves Rome so much that he believes the only way to keep the Empire alive and stable is that he must kill Caesar. Brutus is intellectual but only makes decisions that benefit him, making him seem greedy. When Brutus speaks to the crowd of Caesar’s death in act three scene two he states “Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I love Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living and all die slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men ?”…
By definition, a tragic hero must, of course, have heroic qualities. So what qualities does Brutus have that would make him any more applicable to the title than any other character in the play? There are a few of these. For one, Brutus was a genuinely nice person. He did not wish to harm anyone, and really only wanted to general good for all people. Secondly, as stated in Act 2, scene 1, lines 10-12, "It must be by his death; and for my part, I know no personal cause to spurn at him, But for the general...." He killed Caesar, not out of envy or greed, but for the benefit of the Roman people. Thirdly, he wished not to die at the hands of his enemies; he wished to die in a way that was considered honorable at the time, at prove that he was loyal to his ideals by having himself killed by one of his friends. Brutus states this in Act 5, scene 5, lines 27-32: "Our enemies have beaten us to the pit. It is more worthy to leap in ourselves, That tarry till they push us. Good Volumnius, That know'st that we two went to school together. Even for that our love of old, I prithee, Hold though my sword-hilts whilst I…
Julius Caesar was a strong, brave military leader. When Caesar left Rome to fight a war against his once great friend Pompey, he wasn’t defeated and came back to Rome victorious (Act I, scene i, line 32-39).

Brutus is an honorable senator and his grandfather founded the republic, making him an extremely important and influential figure in Rome. Cassius attempts to use Brutus’ family’s reputation to persuade him, “Oh, you and I have heard our fathers say, there was a Brutus once that would have brooked th' eternal devil to keep his state in Rome as easily as a king” (I, ii 159-163). Someone in Brutus’ lineage set up the Roman republic and Cassius used this information to pressure Brutus to turn on his friend Caesar. Brutus, no doubt, feels obligated to uphold his family name and honor the Roman Republic. Also Cassius tries to flatter Brutus by saying, “And no man here but honors you, and every one doth wish you had but that opinion of yourself which every noble Roman bears of you” (II, i 92-95). Even other senators and high ranking officials Rome look up to and respect Brutus. He obviously has a high reputation and an honorable past, giving him power to convince and justify his actions to others. Brutus’ status and personality make him the perfect person to convince the…

The first major quality of a tragic hero is a rapid ascent to power or glory. This is done by Brutus as he joins the conspiracy and murders Julius Caesar. One powerful quote that describes how Brutus felt towards Caesar whilst he took power of Rome is as follows “As Caesar lov'd me, I weep for him/ as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it/ as he was valiant, I honor him, but, as he was ambitious, I slew him” (III, ii, 26-29).

To begin with, Brutus' lust for power is one of the many ways that make him to be the tragic hero. It all started when the conspirators and himself discussed/planned the assassination of Caesar. During the agreement and arrangement of the assassination, is when Brutus gains his power and gets what he wants. He then gets more involved with the killing of Caesar, making him feel more powerful. "Ay, every man away. Brutus shall lead, and we will grace his heels with the most boldest and best hearts of Rome." (iii, I, 119-121). Although Brutus can single handily take over the conspirator group and over rule Cassius, as a tragic hero he is to begin to lose power. This takes place throughout the falling action in act4 when Antony makes the angry mob turn against him. It will eventually lead up to his untimely death/downfall.…
