In Julius Caesar, by Shakespeare, the true hero lies not within Caesar or Cassius, but Brutus. When looking at these characters more closely it’s obvious that Brutus is the real, but a tragic hero because Brutus had heroic qualities and died because of it. This is shown many times throughout the play. It is shown in every act of every scene and shows Caesars true honor and nobility. Anybody who has read Julius Caesar knows tat he was ambitious and the reason that Brutus killed his best friend was for the good of Rome and not himself.

The reason that Brutus is the hero of Julius Caesar is because he is a noble man with many heroic qualities. Throughout the play, he never betrays anyone. Although he did murder Julius Caesar, it was for the good of Rome, not to betray Caesar. Even after Brutus killed Antony’s best friend, Caesar, Antony still pointed out that Brutus was an “honorable man.” He demonstrates this in Act 5, Scene 5, after Brutus’ gets killed, Brutus, the only conspirator that actually killed Caesar because he was not selfish and he actually did care about the good of Rome. He cared more about the good of Rome than he did himself. In Act 3 when Ca

Every hero has a weakness that leads to his/her destruction and Brutus’s weakness was his lack of judgment. Brutus thought that that all men were trustworthy and honorable, but Cassius proved him wrong when he joined the conspiracy because of Caesar’s ambition. Also, he believed what everyone said and just because he did not betray anyone, he believed the people would give back this deed. This flaw led him to his own destruction. All that he believed in betrayed him at one time or another during Julius Caesar. Brutus is also, more reliable on people and does not realize what people are capable of. Due to this tragic flaw, the drastic change occurred when the events that occurred because of Brutus’ lack of judgment led to his mistake and death. Brutus’ first flaw occurred in Act 2. This was when the fake letters and read, "Brutus, thou sleep'st. Awake, and see thyself" (2.1.46). Brutus interprets the letter as if it were from all of Rome, telling him to kill Caesar and restore the republic. These letters are sent to him from the conspirators and were all a betrayal to get Brutus to join in on the conspiracy. These letters we sent by Cassius because he knew he could not do this conspiracy without Brutus’ support. Brutus believes these letters are from the people of Rome and agrees to forego with the conspiracy. Furthermore, another lack of judgment occurs again in Act 3, 2. Brutus
