Shakespeare

Was Brutus an honorable man? I need to give 5 points for and 5 points against this question.



Good:

1.He stood for what he thought ws right. In Act 3, scene 2, he states what he thought was right. He wanted to help and protect Rome.



2. He was loyal and patriotic to his country. In Act 3, scene 2 and in Act 2, scene 1, he says why he was wanting to protect Rome.



3. He was loyal to his friend. Brutus loved Caesar, but he "loved Rome more" (Act 3, scene 2). And in Act 2, scene 1, he wanted to protect his friend from ignoring the people if he became king.



4. Caesar trusted him. In Act 3, scene 1, he didn't die until Brutus stabbed him. In history, he blocked Casca's stab and looked around at the conspirators. When he saw Brutus, he probably said that famous line, "Et tu, brute? Then die Caesar." He put his head in his cape and let himself get stabbed.



5.All the people followed him. In Act 3, scene 2, the respected him and wanted him to be the next Caesar in a hero.



Bad:

1.Brutus killed Caesar. He wasn't loyal to his friend. Act 3, scene 1.



2.He was part of the conspiracy. That is bad. He joined in Act 2, scene 1



3. He was actually ready to kill. Killing is never good, even if you think it is for a good cause. Brutus says why he killed Caesar in Act 3, scene 2.



4. He was more concerned about the power of Rome than a person's life. In Act 2, scene 1, and in Act 3, scene 2, he says that he was and why he was concerned.



5. He was influencedand was stupid for that. In Act 1, scene 2, he listens to Cassius, and in Act 2, scene, he was influenced by more praising. The conspiracy probably wouldn't have worked if Bruus wasn't in it.



That is it. Until next time, good bye.
