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.

I swear, I am not saying this to be mean, but please tell me that this is not a college/university essay. Leaving spelling, punctuation and grammar problems aside, where is the supporting evidence for your suppositions? This is a long string of opinions without any corroborating facts. Besides that, I would tend to disagree with you. Brutus was a self-serving plutocrat who saw Caesar's awarding of titles as an offence to the mos maiorum.

Your theme isn't bad, but the execution of it is lacking.

You state and re-state your essential premise about three or four times (i.e., that Brutus' reasons for killing Caesar are DIFFERENT from those of the other conspirators)...but you never defend that opinion adequately. You can't merely SAY that Brutus killed Caesar for the good of Rome; if that's what you believe, you had better show some examples from the text. What does Brutus SAY in the play that leads you to that conclusion?

You have misinterpreted Caesar's use of "Et tu, Brute." It has nothing whatsoever to do with Caesar's respect for Brutus, and/or his understanding of the reasons for his murder. He says it because, after having been stabbed by the OTHER conspirators -- people that Caesar KNEW hated him and were jealous of his authority -- Caesar comes face to face with Brutus, and can't believe that Brutus would be a participant in such an assassination plot.

Again, your essential idea isn't bad. Go back to the beginning. Think about this: Brutus does NOT want to participate in the plot against Caesar initially. What changes his mind? What reasons do Cassius and the other conspirators give him that make him believe that Caesar has to die? Be SPECIFIC. Your opinions matter, but you have to defend them with references to the text.

nicely, in Rome, long term in the past, people had 3 names to designate them: a million- the praenomen (or first call, the single going till now the nomen). as a effect, the praenomen in Gaius. yet it replaced into written Caius! and stated Gaius. 2- the nomen, which as a effect is Julius, by using fact Caesar replaced into from the Julii relatives. So it replaced right into a relatives call. 3- the cognomen, is in basic terms approximately like a surname, a nickname. as a effect Caesar. So that's Caius Julius Caesar (stated Gaius Julius Caesar) who replaced into the comparable and easily Julius Caesar, the single that conquered the Gauls and wrote the Commentarii de bello Gallico, or comments with reference to the Gallic conflict. Historians as a result can choose for between Julius Caesar, Caesar, and Gaius Julius Caesar, or perhaps Caius Julius Caesar. ineffective to assert, the guy replaced the entire international, like Alexander the tremendous, like Cyrus the tremendous, and in comparison to all of the others, whether they choose for to faux marking their time in any way.

......about "et tu Brute?" This is usually posed as a question, rhetorical. It is nicely translated as "Are you too ---- even my
best friend ----- going to stab me now?" Of course, like with
Lincoln, there is always a reason why a great leader is struck
down. But woe to him by whom offenses come.
