Brutus in Julius Caesar

Assassinations almost always bring about something harmful, not something beneficial, and they almost always spell out the doom of the assassin. Lincoln?s assassin is caught and punished, Martin Luther King Jr.?s assassin is caught and punished, and the same thing happens with Brutus in Julius Caesar, by Shakespeare. Although Brutus may not have what it takes to be a conventional hero, he has many admirable traits. Even though Brutus is too idealistic, he comes through as being an admirable person because of his loyalty and his persuasiveness.

Through Brutus? experiences it is very easy to see that he is too idealistic to pull off Caesar's assassination without a hitch. One good example of this is what ultimately brings about his death. When Cassius tries to convince Brutus that Antony needs to be killed along with Caesar, Brutus says ?As for Marc Antony, think not of him, for he can do no more than Caesar?s arm when Caesar?s head is cut off.? (2.1.181-183) This, of course, proves to be disastrously wrong and Antony ends up defeating Brutus? army and causes Brutus to commit suicide. This shows that Brutus is


Brutus admirably shows that he is loyal throughout his whole ordeal. He obviously shows great loyalty to his country when he thinks not about assassinating Caesar for his own personal gain,but to assassinate him for the good of the empire. One can tell that he has great pride in being a Roman and wants what is best for Rome. This is a very admirable trait in that Brutus is unswervingly faithful and loyal to his country and it?s people. Brutus also shows loyalty in dealing with his fellow conspirators. He doesn?t just abandon them when everything falls apart, (Which he surely could have done since he was the only one who committed the crime for the empire, and the only person that did it for honorable reasons.) Instead he sticks with them until the end. Brutus could have had a number of good reasons to leave after he and Cassius get into a big argument, but he puts pride in his loyalty and honor.
