The result is an entertaining essay‚ which slowly decomposes Twain’s validity as a scientist‚ but highlights the satire behind his work. For the remains of the essay‚ Twain goes on to mention unfavorable traits that are specific to man‚ and promptly correlates

applies perfectly. In the play Julius Caesar‚ Brutus is confronted with an internal conflict; he chooses to join the conspiracy and kill Caesar. Brutus was right in many ways to do so.
