The “frayed of Julius Caesar is a play written by Shakespeare. This play is all about manipulation and ambitions that drive characters to commit a tragedy against Caesar. The most dynamic character in the play is Marcus Brutus because he is the character that changes the most throughout the play. In the beginning of the play he was indecisive but later on agrees to join the conspiracy against Caesar. Politically Brutus believes he gets crowned, and he thinks it's necessary to get rid of him before that happens. Brutus has no reason to dislike Caesar in the play. Ca**ius and the roman citizens play a big role as being Brutus's motives because of their influence, Brutus decides to k** Caesar.
From a personal point of view Brutus never disliked Caesar, just like everyone else in Rome, he was grateful for everything that Caesar had done for their country but he didn't feel that Caesar and his idea of a One-man rule would be the best solution for Rome. Like he states in (doc. A) "Not that I loved Caesar less but that I loved Rome more.", he would do anything for his country, even if it meant sacrificing his own friend and benefactor (doc. A). In the end, it hadn't matter what Brutus had done because, since the new governing that was forming in Rome Brutus, surrounded by troops, took his own life after being defeated in battle.
Brutus in the beginning would have never dreamed of hurting Caesar, that was his close friend almost like his brother, but he just couldn't bear the thought of his country being ruled by just "one-man". He believed that Rome should be a Democracy, which is why his beliefs led him to k**ing his own friend. If Caesar had never tried to put so much power in his own hands then he would have never had the senators of Rome against him and his rule (doc. C) and he wouldn't have had a group of conspirators k** him in 44 B.C.(doc. C). The conspirators had believed that k**ing Caesar would be the best for Rome, but many disagreed. They didn't believe that the one who brought Rome back to its power should have died. In life or d**h, Caesar was loved and his memory was extremely popular among the people of Rome. The choice that Brutus made while with the conspirators, led him to taking his own life in the end and failed at restoring the democracy.
In conclusion, both personal and political show that Brutus didn't have anything against Caesar, he was just trying to protect his Rome. The only way he believed protecting Rome would be to k**ing Caesar.
