Do You Agree that Brutus had a Noble Motive When Murdering His Adopted Father, Julius Caesar ?


  Based from the Historical Events that occurred in the past, I believe that Brutus had a noble motive when murdering his father, Julius Caesar in order to prevent his father from becoming a horrible tyrant. There are several reasons that just might support such issue.

  First of all Brutus knew that his father had done so many immoral acts towards the society. His father sleeps with senator's wife. He knew that his father killed and impale prisoners without any mercy. He knew that his father was trying to gain full superior power and thus to stop this issue from getting worse was to kill his father.

  Moreover, Brutus had no intention of seeking high power. This can be seen where he consider on the other senators in the Roman society. Due to Caesar's dictatorship, most of Roman senators had no grip of power thus he had to give way so that an Roman power can be given equally among these senators.
  Furthermore, even if Brutus didn't killed his father and took over the throne, he fear that he will be a tyrant just like his father because of the power and superiority he possess. Thus his feebleness thought lead to his noble motives that was to murder his own father.

  In conclusion the killings of Julius Caesar by Brutus is a noble motive. However Brutus's noble motives leads to conspiracy and it opens a gateway for many greedy and cunning Roman senators to take over Julius Caesar's throne and thus leads to civil war among the Romans and Brutus own death.

  3. because of Brutus self pity towards the Romans fate, he killed Caesar.

    no-in-between
    if Brutus didnt kill Caesar, caesar would turn to horrible tyrant

    slippery slope
    there's no guaranteed that Caesar would turn to tyrant if he become ambitious man

    my conclusion towards this is that every action have the consequences but we have to make wise decision, right?

  6. Yes...stupid Brutus!! He only had used by Cassius. Brutus love Roman? It just his reason to eliminate Caesar. If he really love Romans, there have another way to show off. No need to kill Caesar. Brutus is a immature person.
