Tragic Hero: Brutus Essay, Research Paper

Brutus was a tragic hero in the play Julius Caesar, there has been many tragic heroes in the world, many people have done so well, and provide so much, only to die when there life was still young, it is amazing to think of what these people could have provided if there life wasn t cut short, it is sad.

Brutus had many faults, he was easily persuadable, Cassius bugged him over and over till Brutus finally caved in, and he could also be easily tricked, when the conspirators planted 3 letters to him. Cassius was smart though, he wanted Brutus to stay with idea, when saying about killing Antonia and Brutus strongly rejecceted, Cassius suddenly agrees with Brutus so that Brutus stays with him.

Brutus also couldn t show his emotions well, when his wife asked him what was wrong he never gave her a straight answer, she tried to coerce one out of him, but he never gave her one. If she told her the truth he might have lived longer.

I never thought Brutus really wanted to kill Caesar, he was never full with the idea, till he got totally convinced, since he is easy to convince he ended up killing him anyway, he was also the last one to stab him, so He might have had doubts the whole time.
