Caesar is killed by conspirators who wanted freedom, liberty, and democracy. Though Caesar had ruled well, he wanted to be crowned and was ambitious. Caesar was killed because he was the one whose “abuse of greatness is when it disjoins remorse from power” (2.1.18, 19). But Brutus thought that “when he once attains the upmost round, he then unto the ladder turns his back” (2.1.24, 25). But Caesar loved the Romans according to what Antony spoke about Caesar 's death, “when that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept” (3.2.89). Also, death was nothing to Caesar and he was brave. When Portia had nightmares about Caesar, she begged him not to go out. Caesar said, “How can we avoid what the gods want to happen?” (2.2.27-28) and “a necessary end, will come whenever will come” (2.2.36-37). Brutus stabbed Caesar and kill him even though he loved him. He said, “I did love Caesar when I struck him” (3.1.186). But Brutus, who loved Romans, wanted to kill Caesar, according to what he said, “therefore think him as a serpent’s egg which, hatched, would as his kind grow mischievous and kill him in the shell” (2.1.30-34). He wanted Romans to be free, by saying, “had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves” (3.2.22). And he honors Caesar by saying “honor for his valor” (3.2.26). Brutus is also a brave Roman.

They both were the bravest Romans. They both loved their Romans. Caesar was killed for Rome and Brutus killed himself for Rome. Caesar was also very strict about Rome 's law. When Cimber was kneeling Caesar, “I must prevent thee Cimber” (3.1.36). Caesar was a tragic hero because he loved Rome and tried to take care of Rome though he desired power as king of Rome.

He wanted to be an honorable man and not taking the crown that would make him
Caesar was a great military leader, he was a man of strength, and he conquered all of Rome. Caesar was not afraid to take charge to take Rome high and make them more powerful. If he had to Caesar would kill anyone that stood in his way of making Rome more powerful. “Kill everyone inside” “without hesitation, his men, swords drown, burst inside the bar, and soon the street was quiet.”
Brutus killed Caesar out of honor because he felt it was the best thing to do for the people of Rome. Brutus only wanted what was best for the people of Rome and the people around him. This can be seen in his speech in Act III, Scene ii, lines 18 through 19, “If then that friend demand why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer: not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.” Brutus explains that he killed Caesar not out of hate for him but because he felt it was for the good of Rome. Brutus was also an honorable man and the people around him knew that he was.
Brutus has a vision, and he intends it to work out in every way he plans. In a sense he achieves what he wants, and killing Caesar may have been crucial to his short-lived success.
Julius Caesar was a politician, general, and dictator. He once said, “It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.” He was an incredible speaker of the time and was very well liked by most citizens. He brought a lot of change to Rome and was a very strong leader. Julius Gaius Caesar was born in Rome Italy, in 100 B.C., on July 13th.
In Act 3 Scene 2 Brutus said during his speech, “If that friend then demands to know why Brutus turned against Caesar, this is my answer: Not because I cared for Caesar less, but because I cared for Rome more”. Brutus had courage to kill Caesar, not because he wanted to, but for the good of Rome and its people. During the entirety of the story, Brutus
High Risk High Reward In certain situations it may be justified for a political leader to bend or break the law for the good of the country. Usually when the average person hears that someone has broken the law, they would immediately assume that it was a bad decision. Although, that may not always be the case. For example if someone were to break into your home, you would then have the right to injure/kill that intruder based on self defense.
Keep Power or Kill If you believed that the only way to save your state was to kill one of your friends, would you? The character Brutus killed one of his friends in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar(JC) by William Shakespeare.

However many people think that he killed Julius Caesar to help prevent Rome from becoming dictatorship.
Corruption is defined as dishonest or illegal behavior, especially by powerful people, and just like its definition, corruption and power go hand in hand. The more power a person has, generally, the easier it is for them to be corrupted. Just like in Julius Caesar where power and corruption are very prevalent, and most of the leaders in Julius Caesar became corrupted by their power, but in some rare cases leaders have avoided corruption, these people are very valuable in society, and must not be taken for granted. Just like many other leaders in Julius Caesar, Caesar was corrupted by his power. He wasn’t corrupt in the normal sense, he was socially corrupt in the fact that he didn’t stick to the social norms of respecting fellow senators in
When Brutus spoke about his motives to kill Caesar he said, “As he was valiant I / honor him. But, as he was ambitious, I slew him.” (3.2.27-28). Brutus honored Caesar but saw that his ambition has the potential of being very dangerous. He thought that a danger like Caesar could not be left to grow more powerful when there is a solution to the issue now.
Caesar contained few characteristics of a tragic hero compared to Brutus. “I rather tell what is to be feared than what I fear; / For always I am Caesar” (Shakespeare I.2.211-212). Caesar, like Brutus, is hubris and thinks fondly of himself. Caesar, so far, only expresses one tragic hero quality.
Nonetheless, he did die an honourable death. He realized he had done wrong so he killed himself “Hold then my sword, and turn away thy face, While I do run upon it. (5.5.47-48) and as he is dying he says “Caesar, / Now be still: / I killed he with half so good a will. ”(5.5.49-51). This means that he did not kill Caesar half as willingly as he kills himself.
He is devoted and utterly selfless for the good of his country. For instance, Brutus stabs Caesar because he is tricked into thinking that the citizens fear Caesar. Keeping this in mind, Brutus kills Caesar to satisfy and ease his people, demonstrating that he prioritizes his country over his friendship with Caesar. Though Brutus ended Caesar’s life, Brutus still holds some loyalty to friends and says, “Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved/ Rome more.” (3.2.50-60)
Brutus loves Caesar but knows he has to kill him for the good of rome. He says, “I know
Caesar is brought to the senate where he eventually is stabbed by the conspirators, his friends, his allies, and the people he trusted. The conspirators didn’t think of the reproductions of their actions and they have now started a war. They lose the battle against Mark Antony, some conspirators commit suicide, and some are executed. Shakespeare wanted us to develop sympathy for Julius Caesar through the betrayal of his friends, his overthrow of power, and the ultimate death of his once friends.
The Tragedy of Julius Caesar The evil that men do lives after them; the good is often buried with their bones. This means that after somebody is bullied the words said to them stay with them even after the person dies. Most good people are often forgotten about what they done in their lives. Caesar was still talked about a lot even after his death by the people of Rome he is still talked about to this day. Mark Antony talked about him in his speech about how good of a man Caesar was.
