So, I have to do a persuasive essay for Julius Caesar and Im doing it on how Brutus had better reasons of killing Caesar than the conspirators.
so Here it is let me know what you think and please any corrections/ help would be much apprieciated.
Brutus completely had a suitable reason for killing Caesar than all the other conspirators. Brutus killed Caesar for Rome, while on the other hand the conspirators killed Caesar because to them he was ambitious and the plain and simple fact that they were envious of him. Ambitious in a way that he was stubborn and would not listen to reason and ignoring all the omens that were shown to him. Caesars ambition made it seem as if he were a tyrant. The conspirators simply would not accept him this way.
Brutus loved Caesar very much and was afraid to hurt him in any way, physically or emotionally. Brutus was noble and was the only one out of all of them that cared about the good of others instead of letting his own envy have the best of him. Brutus killed Caesar for the good of Rome and yet still knows that he is honorable. Even though Brutus is very close to Caesar he still fears his power very much. He fears Rome will not be ruled properly by Caesar. Caesars last words are “Et tu, Brute” (and you, Brutus). Caesar says this because he knows there is a noble reason for Brutus killing him which shows their mutual respect for each other.
Cassius who was one of the driving forces behind the conspirators plot to kill Caesar, had several motives for his killing, one of them being his greed for power. He was afraid that if Caesar would come into power then he would become an average citizen. Caesars reputation was better then Cassius’ as well and Cassius was envious of that. Cassius then got more people to join his conspiracy. They were afraid of having to work under Caesar or losing their ranks.
Jealousy and envy were very much alive in this situation. People will do anything if money or power is involved. In this case kill someone because they did not want to lose power or they themselves wanted more power like the conspirators. There was also a more loving side. Such as, Caesar being killed for Rome so that peoples lives were not destroyed in the process of one man coming into power.
Brutus has a more strong reason for killing Caesar than Cassius and the other conspirators did. Brutus stopped Rome from being run under a tyrants rule, because that’s what would happen to Caesar. Brutus loved Caesar and Rome. The conspirators were just simply jealous of Caesar and killed him for this reason. They also were afraid of having to work under Caesar or losing their ranks. They thought they were better than him and did not want him to be king.
