How Does Julius Caesar Change According To Plutarch

Idealistic Brutus misplaces his trust on his army and the conspirators. Manipulated, Brutus joins into the conspiracy without knowing the hidden intentions. By the time conspirators had brief meeting at Brutus’s house before the plan, Brutus addresses that “they are all welcome” (2.1.97) and shakes hands with the conspirators without any doubt. He misplaces his trust on the conspirators thinking that everyone share same purpose and intention. After the death of Caesar and Antony’s funeral speech, Brutus and Cassius run away from Rome and set up a camp where they can fight against the army of Antony.

In Shakespeare’s acts, there are not many occasions where Caesar comes into play. Even so, it seems as if they portray him as a man who was ambitious and who had enough self-control as to humor the people around him to gain friends and influence. Plutarch’s opinion of Caesar seems obscure. He mentions how Caesar did many good for those around him, though, at the same time, he mentions how people thought that he had an ulterior motive for doing such things. Plutarch does not mention Brutus very much except that he had been pardoned by Caesar for fighting against him.

Brutus was easily manipulated by the other conspirators to join. He was conflicted, at war with himself, and confused about what to do about Caesar. Cassius, another conspirator, had forged fake letters to Brutus. “Brutus, thou sleep’st. Awake, and see thyself” (II.i.46).

A few main points in which Brutus should join the conspiracy is how it affects the general, Caesar, and himself. I believe that Brutus should join the conspiracy due to the situation he’s in. “ It must

Marcus Brutus vs. Julius Caesar "When beggars die there are no comets seen; The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes." (II.ii.31-32) In William Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar,” Caesar is betrayed by his best friends. Although Caesar is killed, Brutus is also greatly affected. The best title for this play would be “The Tragedy of Marcus Brutus.”

Shakespeare uses the over dramatic style of Brutus’ dialogue, to give him a narcissistic hubris, or fatal flaw. This contributes to the plot of the story, by giving Brutus a motive for killing Caesar, because he feels that with Caesar taking over Rome, Rome will be doomed to the wrath of Caesar. Brutus felt that he would be the savior of Rome, by getting rid of, or cleansing Rome of Caesar. This, however was not the case, and Brutus was forever faced with the guilt that he killed Caesar. He was not the only one who fought with these struggles of maintaining his sanity in public.

For Brutus was a trusting, honorable man who only spoke to inform the crowd of his actions while Antony was seeking revenge for Julius. Unfortunately, the Plebeians were not logical thinkers and were prone to making decisions based on their strongest emotions. Such as when they murdered someone who was not a conspirator, but had the name ‘Cinna’ “Tear him to pieces. He’s a conspirator.” (III, iii, 28).

Although Caesar, as the upcoming ruler of Rome in Julius Caesar, should be portrayed as the ideal leader of the play, he actually has too arrogant of a character to be so. Therefore, Shakespeare places honor in Brutus and allows Brutus to have the role of the idealistic leader of the story. Although Shakespeare writes this play in a controversial time period during England’s political turmoil, he allows the audience to be able to choose the true ruler of loyalty to the crown or the honor of a noble man through the understanding of the two contrasting character

When Brutus was talking to the conspirators Brutus was going back and forth think if he should help the conspirators kill Julius Caesar. He was going back and forth because he was thinking of the power he could have and could rule Rome. The reason behind Brutus killing Caesar was for the better of Rome. If Brutus would not have killed Caesar, Rome would have turned into a dictatorship, and in turn it would have ruined Rome and all of its people. Brutus did not kill Julius just for the power to rule Rome, he killed Julius to save Rome from Caesar’s dictatorship.

And while Brutus did work in part with other conspirators, which eventually led to him killing Caesar, he did it for a more morally sound reason which was that Caesar was going to cause the downfall of Rome because he was too ambitious, which is ironic because Caesar's death led to a string of unfit leaders, and civil unrest that eventually led to the downfall of the roman empire. Brutus was also focused on preventing corruption. “The name of Cassius honors this corruption,/ And chastisement doth therefore hide his head (IV.iii.15-6)... Remember March, the ides of March remember./ Did not great Julius bleed for justice' sake” (IV.iii.18-9).

People complain that Brutus is just as bad as Caesar, yet Brutus does it for justice of the people. While others explain that the Roman empire will fall due to Brutus’s actions, others will say that he has a high respect of the citizens, and the citizens would know he did the deed for the better good. While some may bicker about Brutus making predictions about the future, he is simply trying to prevent tyranny to get ahold of Rome and the empire. Brutus is the perfect example of anyone in the world, who wants to do the better good for everyone. Should Brutus join the conspiracy against Caesar?

First, Cassius uses ethos, pathos and logos to manipulate Brutus into joining the conspirators. When Cassius first mentions joining the conspirators Brutus is sceptical and asks him “into what

Plutarch actually has Alexander weep for the opposite reason, writing: “Alexander wept when he heard Anaxarchus discourse about an infinite number of worlds, and when his friends inquired what ailed him, ‘Is it not worthy of tears’, he said, ‘that, when the number of worlds is infinite, we have not yet become lords of a single one?'”. The misattributed quote passed into popular culture after appearing in Robert Hayman’s 1628 Quodlibets as “Great Alexander wept, and made sad mone, because there was but one world to be wonne.”. It is seemingly as a confusion between quotes attributed to Julius Caesar about Alexander and quotes attributed to Alexander
