I depart,that, as I slew my best lover for the good of Rome, I have the same dagger for
myself, when it shall please my country to need my death - Marcus Junius Brutus
Marcus Junius Brutus, one of the noblest Romans would die if needed to save Rome
and the people of Rome. In the play Julius Caesar, he had a decision between his
loyalty to the Roman Republic and his loyalty to his friend. As one of the conspirators he
killed Julius Caesar for the people of fear of him becoming a dictator. Although he killed
him, Brutus was a patriot because felt the people in Rome and the country itself had
more importance than Caesar.
Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were
living and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead- Act 3 Scene 2
Although, Brutus could be considered as a betrayer, he did whats best for the people.
If Caesar was king, he had a vision that the futures for the people of Rome were slaves.
He decided that Caesars ambition led to his death. Brutus collaborated with people
whose interest was not what best for Rome and used manipulative methods to
persuade the crowd he was right. However, to get the job done by killing Caesar he
knew it would take more than one person and so he called in a group of conspirators. If
Brutus did not do it, it would signal Romes downfall. After he killed Caesar, he used
manipulative methods in his speech to convince the crowd that his action was right
Brutus is a patriot because he thought Caesar would become a dictator and lead to the
fall of Rome
Even though Caesar had already wielded power over Rome, accepting the crown would
make no difference. He refused to take the crown in order to not look eager in front of
his fellow Romans. Caesar did not want praises or honor, he just wanted to be in charge
of all that power. Brutus knew what he was up to and he made up his mind to slay him.
Brutus spares Marc Antony because he knew he is innocent.
Our course will seem too bloody, Caius Cassius. To cut the head off and then hack the
limbs, Like wrath in death and envy afterwards; For Antony is but a limb of Caesar: Let
us be sacrificers, but not butchers, Caius. This explains that Brutus must kill Caesar to
save Rome, but they cannot kill people like Marc Antony or they will look like killers in
front of their country. Brutus spares Antony because he knew that he did nothing wrong.

If they kept killing people who sided with Caesar, there would be nothing to gain from
that. This shows that Brutus is not a cold blood murderer.
Even though in some instances, Brutus may look like a betrayer, but instead he has
done many deeds and saved Rome from its downfall from a brutal dictator, Julius
Caesar.
