Question

what are the traits of Brutus in Julius Caesar?

Answer 1

Of Noble Heritage: Brutus is a Roman nobleman, as was his father (Act 1, Sc. 2, lines 169-171).

Sincere: Brutus truly believes that his role in the assassination is for the good of Rome ( Act 2, Sc. 1, lines 10-34); (Act 3, Sc. 1, lines 178-186).

Honest: He refuses to take bribes (Act 4, Sc. 3, lines 72-89).

Naive: He believes in the essential goodness of those around him (Act 3, Sc. 1, lines 178-190); (Act 5, Sc. 5, lines 38-42).

Philosophical: His philosophies guide his actions and decisions. Finally, his decisions--allowing Marc Antony to speak at Caesar's funeral and to speak last (Act 3, Sc. 1, lines 254-261), and deciding to risk all in one battle at Philippi (Act 4, Sc. 3, lines 228-237)--prove disastrous to the conspirators' cause.
