Alexis Carpenter April 3, 2014 Soph*more World Literature In the play, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar Writing, Shakespeare describes Brutus's motives and personality and environment and his beliefs through different techniques. Many of Brutus's actions are shown through persuasion throughout the play, such as Brutus's Background and Brutus's relationship with Mark Antony. Brutus decides to join Ca**ius and a group of a**a**ins to defeat Caesar and take him down from the thrown of Rome, but Brutus is doing this for only the good of Rome. In Shakespeare's play, Brutus is the real hero out of all the other characters. In (Document A), Brutus explains “Not that I love Caesar less but I love Rome more.” This proves that Brutus still sees Caesar as a friend. This also shows that the other a**a**ins want to k** Caesar out of envy. Brutus wants to make sure Caesars d**h is an honorable one in (Document A) he says “Lets carve him as a dish fit for the gods, not hew him as a carca** fit for hounds." This is an example of how much respect Brutus has for Caesar. This also makes his task less envious. Brutus was the one who to those ideals; He sacrificed his friend for the cause of liberty. Brutus was a sincere patriot who served as an urban soldier. One of the a**a**ins suggested k**ing Mark Antony along with Caesar. Brutus declines this and said in (Line 13, Brutus's speech) “And for Mark Antony, think not of him.” This proves Brutus and Mark Antony have a strong friendship. This also shows that Brutus cares for Mark Antony more than Caesar. Brutus states before they follow through with their plan in (Line 1, Brutus's speech) “Our course will seem to too bloody; to cut off the head off then hack the limbs.” This proves that Brutus does not want to shed any unnecessary blood. This is an example of Brutus's persuasive side in the play. In the end, the a**a**ins agree to not k**ing Mark Antony along with Caesar. Brutus, Ca**ius and his a**a**ins complete their mission in k**ing off Caesar for the good of Rome.
