Julius Casear

“The noble Brutus hath told you Caesar was ambitious. If it were so, it was a grievous fault, and grievously hath Caesar answered it. Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest (for Brutus is an honorable man; so are they all, all honorable men), come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral,” (677-688, li 74-81). In William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, the character of Marcus Brutus represents an honorable man.

A less naive and more perceptive man would see through that because the letter contains certain diction that hints Cassius sent it.

He finally agrees to the conspiracy against Caesar, but somehow convinces himself Rome will rejoice, not think he committed a murder. Here the reader first really realizes that Brutus does not really a think clearly. If he would just think the plan through he would realize that the citizens of Rome wouldn’t consider Caesar’s death a favor, but more likely they would consider it a murder.
