Julius Caesar Cartoon

Do you agree that Brutus had a noble motive when murdering his adopted father, Julius Caesar? Discus





              Gaius Cassius Longinus and Marcus Junius Brutus, Julius Caesar adapted son killed the Caesar with Roman senators when he wants to be a king of Rome. Caesar died in the Theatre of Pompey in front of Roman senators. They stabbed Caesar with knife about 23 times. After they killed Caesar, Brutus says in his speech in front of Roman people that they killed Caesar because he loved Rome and wanted to save Rome from destroy and Caesar domination.

            Brutus had no intention to do all that things since he had been seduced by Cassius to kill his forefather. He did not tell the reason the led to his conviction that he loved Rome than Caesar. Cassius, Decius, Brutus and other Roman senators also gather together to discuss how to kill the Caesar. From what I saw in the cartoon, Brutus refuses to kill the Caesar. He also afraid that Caesar would turn Rome into a Chaos after became a king. 



             When all that things happen, Brutus and Cassius are in a battle with Mark Antony and Octavius and turned Rome into Chaos. Many people were died because of this tragedy. Brutus and Caesar also ran to Philippi because Romans were looking for them to take revenge for Caesar death.
 
            Besides that, Cassius just used Brutus to take kill Caesar for his personal revenge. Cassius really wants to kill Caesar because he wanted to have a power. We can know that Brutus felt guilty in killing his father his hesitated to stab Caesar.

            In my opinion, Brutus did not have a noble motive when murdering his father, he just confuse to make a discussion.

  4. there's a good point when u said that Brutus was confuse as Cassius tried to influence him.. but, i think Brutus was a wise man that he could make a decision that he thought was right- for the sake of Rome. anyway,Cassius did not ask the conspirators to kill JC just because he wanted the power, but he spoke on behalf of the Romans
