Nevertheless, being a betrayer and a patriot are two totally different titles, so why are two different titles being put on the same person? Many people have gone back and forth arguing whether Brutus was a betrayer or a patriot in his decision of murdering Caesar. Some other people believe that Brutus murdering Caesar were actions of a true patriot. They thought his actions made him a savior of Rome.

Betrayal is the exact emotion that Caesar was feeling in his last few moments alive after Brutus and the conspirators had stabbed him multiple times. Caesar had so much love, respect, and trust put into Brutus that he never believed he could do such a thing! There were many times where Caesar said how much he loved Brutus and that he believed he was the most noble man in Rome! Brutus decided to betray Caesar for his own benefit in my opinion! I think deep inside Brutus had some jealousy towards Caesar because he wanted the recognition everyone gave to him. Brutus decided to gruesomely murder Caesar with the other conspirators. They stabbed him over and over again until he died. If he really needed to murder him, he could have done it way less gruesomely with poison or something like that. After the fact of the murder, Brutus didnt even seem remorseful as he said, “Caesar, you can rest now.

628 wordsRead More - Was Brutus A Patriotanalytical essayA patriot is someone that is willing to defend their country no matter what it takes. Brutus’ action of killing Caesar was for his country and that makes him a patriot. In the play, Brutus said “The only way is to kill Caesar. I have no personal reason to strike at him—only the best interest of the people (Act 2, Scene 1, Page 1).” This shows that he didn’t want to kill his friend, but he had to do it to save his nation.

It’ll look like we killed Caesar out of anger and Mark Antony out of envy. Let’s be sacrificers but not butchers, Caius. We’re all against what Caesar stands for, and there’s no blood in that (Act 2, Scene 1, Page 8).” This proves that Brutus didn’t want a massacre or go on a huge killing spree, but to do only what was necessary.
