The conspirators believed that Caesar was too ambitious and that they should kill him for the good of Rome, themselves and for their own personal benefit. Brutus trusted that they were conspiring to kill him for the sake of Rome. (Quote). He was also naïve by letting Antony speak at Caesar’s funeral. Brutus believed that Antony would praise Caesar at his funeral and follow the rules that he was given. Brutus trusted him and by letting him speak Antony turned all the Romans against him. Antony sparked a civil war by convincing the Romans that the conspirators that they did wrong. Since Antony turned all the Romans against him, he…

    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. The people believed him and called him the most noble man in Rome, but only for a while. After him was Mark Antony, Antony was persuasive and used more ethos than logos. This helped win the people’s hearts instead of their minds. Cassius, the deceitful leader of the conspirators,…

    In the book, the conspirators manage to persuade many others by saying that Caesar has too much power. They also present excuses like Caesar is not capable or strong enough to lead Rome. Cassius was the exception because he used allusion by sending forged letters to Brutus to convince him to join the conspiracy. When Brutus joined, he began to lead the group by giving demands on what should be done to move ahead with their plan.

    What the citizens of Rome saw was only the persona he cultivated to appear humble. But Brutus says of Caesar, “I have not known when his [Caesar’s] affections swayed/ More than his reason,” (II, i, l 19 - 21). Although Brutus is afraid of what Caesar may become if he were to gain more power, he knows that Caesar is not abusing it as of that point. His arrogance is plain to see, but Caesar still makes reasonable decisions based on what is best for the people of Rome and not himself and doesn’t hold any biases. This would suggest that Caesar does in fact follow a moral code and strives to actually be a good person, which is a characteristic of the Shakespearean tragic hero. Cassius and the other senators created the conspiracy mainly because of envy of him acting like he is not human like them because of his power and ambition instead of fear of what the citizens of Rome might suffer if he were to gain more…

The crowd of Romans were not very intelligent, they lacked the logical thinking for making big decisions. Therefore, the people of Rome could be easily persuaded if the right things were mentioned. Brutus first declared his speech and it seemed as though the public were on his side. He used logical thinking and gave examples of the tyranny that Caesar would have brought to Rome if he was crowned as king. Before Antony said his speech, the crowd strongly trusted Brutus and gave thought about what he had announced about Caesar.
