Julius Caesar Question?

Question

Do you think brutus was justifed in killing caesar? Why?

Answer 1

Is murder ever justified?

Julius Caesar was going a direction Brutus disagreed with. Supposedly, to save Rome, Julius had to go. Did Brutus have his own agenda - probably.

If Julius were to do what Brutus thought he would do, abolish the senate and set himself up as sole ruler of Rome, then Brutus would have been out of a livelihood.

In his mind then, Brutus acted justifiably. From our view over 2000 years later, he did not.

Answer 2

Brutus is an idealist.At 1 time in the play, He gives the reason 1 "Not that I loved Ceasar less, but that I loved Rome more'.His aim in killing his best friend was 4 the good of Rome.Among all the conspirators, he is the only one who bears no grudge towards caesar.This earns him Antony's praise at the end of the play "This was the noblest Raman of them all".The ? is not whether brutus is justified or not,but whether he was willing to do it or not.The latter is indeed the case-Brutus says "If we could come by Ceasar's spirit without harming him" which is not possible and thus "Caesar will have to bleed".It is Brutus's idealism that leads him to take part in the conspiracy and this idealism finally brings abt his downfall.

Answer 3

I looked up what "justified" means in an online dictionary. Essentially, it means that an act had sufficient reason to be carried out. Going by that definition I believe there were sufficient reasons for killing ceasar. One problem, though, is that Brutus did not act purely on behalf of the "greater good" but he also had complex emotional reasons for his violent act. So even though I believe that his act was justified I do not know if Brutus(the human being) should be given a total pass.

There is the act of a man and there is the heart of a man. And there is a difference between the two. An act is simple. The heart complex.

Answer 4

properly, in Rome, lengthy time period in the past, human beings had 3 names to designate them: a million- the praenomen (or first call, the single going earlier the nomen). for this reason, the praenomen in Gaius. in spite of the undeniable fact that it develop into written Caius! and suggested Gaius. 2- the nomen, which for this reason is Julius, because Caesar develop into from the Julii kin. So it develop right into a kin call. 3- the cognomen, is almost like a surname, a nickname. for this reason Caesar. So that is Caius Julius Caesar (suggested Gaius Julius Caesar) who develop into the same and in effortless words Julius Caesar, the guy who conquered the Gauls and wrote the Commentarii de bello Gallico, or comments about the Gallic conflict. Historians for this reason can make a call from Julius Caesar, Caesar, and Gaius Julius Caesar, or perhaps Caius Julius Caesar. ineffective to assert, the guy replaced the completed international, like Alexander the finished, like Cyrus the finished, and unlike all the others, no matter if or not they opt for to fake marking their time in any respect.

Answer 5

Well its more if brutus felt he was justified. He believed that Caeser was becoming a tyrant and due to Cassius he believed that he had to do something about it.

Answer 6

Brutus is backstabber

Answer 7

He meant well, but you can't save the republic by employing assassination. You have to convince the people.
