Evidence


Traitor or Patriot


Explanation

Our course will seem too bloody, Caius Cassius,
To cut the head off and then hack the limbs,
Like wrath in death and envy afterwards;
For Antony is but a limb of Caesar:
Let us be sacrificers, but not butchers, Caius. Patriot Here Brutus explains that while they must kill Caesar to save Rome from dictatorship, they must not kill Marc Antony as well, or they will appear to be cold blooded killers in the eyes of the people rather than defenders of the country.
Et tu, Brute! Then fall, Caesar. Traitor Here Caesar looks at Brutus as Brutus stabs him and says, “You too, Brutus!” Brutus was Caesar’s good friend. Brutus betrays Caesar when he, like the others, stabs him in the Senate.
If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of
Caesar’s, to him I say, that Brutus’ love to Caesar
was no less than his. If then that friend demand
why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer:
–Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved
Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living and
die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men? Patriot/Traitor Here Brutus is telling the people that he felt that Rome and the people there were much more important to him then the life of his friend. To me he was being a hero to the people and at the same time was a traitor to his good friend which was already dead.
With this
I depart,–that, as I slew my best lover for the
good of Rome, I have the same dagger for myself,
when it shall please my country to need my death. Patriot Here he is saying that if in the future there is a need for him to die, that he will do so, for the people.
Enter the Ghost of CAESAR
How ill this taper burns! Ha! who comes here?
I think it is the weakness of mine eyes
That shapes this monstrous apparition.
It comes upon me. Art thou any thing?
Art thou some god, some angel, or some devil,
That makest my blood cold and my hair to stare?
Speak to me what thou art. Traitor Here we can see that he is very nervous and he knows that he has done wrong against his friend Caesar. Here I can tell that it is his conscience that is bothering him, and making him feel bad about what he has done.
Farewell, good Strato.
Runs on his sword
Caesar, now be still:
I kill’d not thee with half so good a will.

Patriot Here he shows that he was telling the truth when he said that he would give his own life for the country if it was needed. He told Caesar that he killed him for the same reason.
I do think that Brutus loved Caesar and that he loved his country. He was also pushed to think that Caesar would not be a good leader. This political peer pressure made him think that Caesar was less important than Rome and its people. I think that he was a traitor because he could have thought however he wanted but he didn’t have to take place in the killing of his friend. Therefore he acted like a traitor and he was one.
