Aaron Escobar - Julius Caesar Essay lyrics

Rubric and Final Grade (click here) Shakespeare Illustrates Brutus' personality and character in two important ways: his beliefs about himself and government and his use of rhetorical techniques in persuasion. A major part of the Illustration of Brutus concerns his beliefs in himself and government. “Not that I loved Caesar less but that I loved Rome more.” (Document A) Brutus Thought that Rome was more important than Caesar. He didn't want Caesar to be bigger than Rome. “Brutus was one who held to those ideals; he sacrificed his friend and benefactor for what he believed was the cause of liberty.” (Document A) Brutus thought he did what was best for Rome. He sacrificed Caesar to keep the government just the way it is and not ruled by one person. Brutus' beliefs both political and personal, shows his true character. Another major Illustration is Brutus' persuasion. “We all stand up against the spirit of Caesar.” (Poetry Genius) Brutus believed that they should make it look like the a**a**ination was necessary. Brutus also thinks they are fighting Caesars ghost. “And gentle friends, let's k** him boldly, but not wrathfully.” (Poetry Genius) Brutus wants to k** Caesar with respect. He also doesn't want to k** him for the bad he did. Brutus' persuasion convinced everyone that what he did was right. These two characteristics, Persuasion and belief in himself and government makes who Brutus is.
