Brutus Character Analysis in Shakespeares Tragedy of Julius Caesar Ess

Character Analysis BrutusWilliam Shakespeares play, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, was mainly ground on the assassination of Julius Caesar. The character who was the mastermind behind the assassination was, ironically, Marcus Brutus, a senator and crocked friend to Julius Caesar. But what would cause a person to assassinate a bordering friend? After I examined Brutus relationship towards Caesar, his pastime in the conspiracy and his importance to the plot it all became clear. Brutus had one and only(a) special condition for killing Caesar and that was for the good of the people and the republic. Brutus had no personal reason for killing Caesar. Some of his most admirable traits were his morality and leadership skills.Brutus had a strong relationship with Caesar but a stronger relationship with Rome and its people. I think during popish times, the only way for someone to get close to a person of high rank is if he/she is a close friend or relative to him/her. Brutus loved Caes ar but feared his power and ambition. In the early acts of the play, Brutus says to Cassius, If it aught toward the general good, set honor in one eye and death in the other, and I will look on both indifferently,,(act 1, pellet 2, ll.85-89), as he is speaking to Cassius. He then unto the ladder turns his stick out...(act 2, scene 1, line 25). As the quote says, Brutus would non allow Caesar to rise to power and then turn his back on the people of Rome. This is the only reason Brutus would conspire against Caesar. Brutus says to himself, I know no personal cause to spurn at him...How that might change his nature...(act 2, scene 1, and ll.11-13) Caesars connection and relationship with Brutus was overly very strong. Allowing Brutus to speak to Caesar shows his respect fo... ...thing else. The curse that Caesar poses was that he would begin moving away from the idea of a Roman republic and towards an Empire ruled directly by him. Brutus is complex because he does not kill Caesa r for greed, envy, or to preserve his social position care so many of the other conspirators against Caesar, he does it for the good of the people. Once Brutus has do up his mind he sticks to it, and he is rarely questioned. Brutus is very habituate to having his way without argument, which explains why he rarely listens to anyone else. Brutus is like a writing of elastic. He is easily stretched out, but hes also easily put back to how it used to be. But a piece of elastic will also get worn out and has to be thrown out. Brutus is very cursorily persuaded and manipulated. Like elastic, it is stretched and used, then immediately thrown out like it was nothing.
