Was Brutus A Noble Man
Was dear Brutus a noble man? Brutus was a friend to great Julius Caesar, but he was also a murderer. Brutus had the guts to have several people help him take Caesar’s life. They repeatedly stabbed Julius even though he thought they were his good friends. Caesar had heard about multiple omens, or warnings, before this act of betrayal from many people. He did not believe them nor did he want to. A strange soothsayer said to him, “Beware the Ides of March”. The soothsayer believed that would be the day Caesar would die. Marcus Brutus was not a noble man. Brutus was always known to be loyal to Caesar. They were close friends and Brutus would help Caesar get what he needed for both him and Rome. Brutus was a supporter of Caesar’s choices for Rome.

    However, Brutus remains noble and refuses to take more lives than necessary, stating, “Let’s be sacrificers, not butchers, Caius… we shall be called purgers, and not murderers” (page 51). While others join the conspiracy for their own personal ambitions, much like how Cassius has monetary gains at the sole forefront of his mind when he commits the murder, Brutus is concerned only for his country and kills Caesar for that reason: so that the republic will last longer without a dictatorial threat looming in the distance. When Brutus commits suicide, his final words are: “Caesar, now be still, I killed not thee with half so good a will,” meaning that the would-be dictator’s death is nobler than his and that Caesar’s death is now avenged. At the end of the play, Antony praises Brutus and calls him “the noblest Roman of them all” (page 163); when one is praised by their enemy, it shows that they are well-respected, even by their foes.…

    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 ?”…

His integrity is due in part to his ancestors who drove out the tyrant Tarquin to keep the democracy safe and his belief that all should act this way. Brutus was willing to make…

    In Opinion to Brutus being a patriot or a betrayer, I believe that he was a betrayer due to the fact that he trusted a man that he had barely even knew. Instead of trusting the man who knew him the longest he had believed in the fake evidence that was given to him. Also, in that case he wanted the honor rather than the humanity being a crucial reason on why he had turned on his best friend.…

    Brutus was a devious man, even though what he thought he was doing was right. Brutus told his fellow conspirators to kill Caesar "boldly, but not angerly."(3.1.256-257) Brutus was one of Caesars right hand men, and yet Brutus kills his own friend. When Antony asks to speak at Caesars funeral, Cassius says no, but Brutus tell him that Antony will speak, but only what Brutus tells him to say. Brutus also embraces the fact that he just killed his friend, and also tells the senators who had just witnessed it to not be afraid, but to stay because ambition has paid its debt.…

    Marcus Junius Brutus was the son of Marcus Junius Brutus the Elder and Servilia Caepionis. His father was killed by Pompey the Great in dubious circumstances after he had taken part in the rebellion of Lepidus; his mother was the half-sister of Cato the Younger, and later became Julius Caesar's mistress.[2] Some sources refer to the possibility of Caesar being his real father,[3] but this is unlikely since Caesar was 15 at the time of Brutus' birth. Brutus' uncle, Quintus Servilius Caepio, adopted him when he was a young man and Brutus was known as Quintus Servilius Caepio Brutus for an unknown period of time.…
