Was Brutus an "honorable" man?

Answer 1

I believe he was (before he murdered Cesar) , for Cesar said as he was dying.."ET Tu Brutus"..interpreting it as "you too Brutus" which meant that even Cesar did not believe his friend, the honorable Brutus did what he had done, betray him like the others.
At the end Brutus ended up not an honorable man, but a murderer.

Answer 2

Some may feel that brutus was not an honourable man,as he betrayed Ceasar.That brings us to the important question,why did he kill the friend he loved so much?(he loved JC-even Cassius knows that,and he says "Strike as thou didst at Caesar,for i know,when thou hatst him worst,thou lovst him better than ever thou lovst cassius" .ok,maybe i havent got the words right,but he said something to that effect)Brutus killed caesar for one simple reason:he thought that caesar would turn out to be a tyrant.Therefore,in the interest of the people of the country,he assassinated caesar.he sacrificed his best friend on the altar of justice(or of what he considered to be justice)
The only fault brutus had was that he believed that all men should be as good as he was,and therefore,he trusted cassius.It does not make him any less honourable,just makes me respect him more for having courage to do what he thought was right.
Antony's tribute to him in the second last speech of the play,is true.Even his enemies know how good he was.

Answer 3

astonishing question Mark! I so believe you, of direction i'm older, so I choose a guy, a real guy. yet I also have a feeling that those days are long previous, a minimum of for now. someplace between the 70's as quickly as I have been given married and the present day the lads as they develop up seem coddled greater by using Mommy, and then even whilst they pass away the abode, they provide the impression of being to coach and ask Mommy to do lots for them, that they have not a clue the thank you to stand on their very own 2 feet. i think of a great variety of it has to do with interior the "older" days, you registered for the draft, served your united states, and got here abode as "men". i can purely wish that the authentic men return - directly! that's okay to be being concerned, and feeling, yet won't be in a position to you be men on the comparable time?

Answer 4

I like your question. Think about the relevance for today's debates. You could quote the great authority Mark Antony as having said so in his own words. Or be more honest and dig deeper into those words. Or use the prima facia evidence that he betrayed his leader. Or consider his past contributions that were not insignificant.
You hear the same sort of logic in politics all the time.

Answer 5

No, he was a coward. He killed his friend how could that be considered honorable. He believed Caesar was too powerful so he joined the conspiracy to kill him. Caesar's last word "et tu Brute" is even proof of this because he deceived caesar into believing that he was his friend. Is that the actions of an honorable man. I think Marc Antony said it best in his funeral speech speaking of the "honorable" men.

Answer 6

Good question, I believe that Cesar wanted to become a martyr and he orchestrated his own death. It fits with his great ego.
