Brutus The Tragic Hero Essay, Research Paper


In the play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, Brutus had many flaws such as


he trusted people, he had a conscience, and he had a lust for power. Many times in the


play he made mistakes. He probably made more mistakes in the play then any other


character. Like other tragic heroes, Brutus had great promise and ability.


One of the many ways Brutus was a tragic hero was that he trusted people too


easily. The first time he trusted anybody in the play was when he joined the conspiracy.


He trusted the letters that were sent to him and then he trusted Cassius to lead him in the


right path. Then Brutus gave his trust to Antony to give a speech and not say anything


bad about the conspiracy. Antony made the mob angry and they went on a rampage.


Brutus had a conscience. This is another flaw. Brutus was an honorable man and


did some dishonorable things. After he acted dishonorably, he felt bad about it. For


example he felt bad about killing Caesar. He had

a guilty conscience about Caesar


because he saw his ghost. The ghost was not really there, it was Brutus?s conscience that


made the ghost appear. A good leader must not have a conscience because it will get in


the way of what must be done.


Brutus was power hungry. He always had to have the last word in a conversation


and he wanted to be the leader. When Brutus joins the conspiracy he became their leader.


Then the conspirators wanted Cicero to join, but Brutus did not want it because he would


lose power. When Brutus and Cassius were discussing strategies, Brutus had the last


word and they used his battle tactics. Brutus had a lust for power and wanted to be in


charge constantly.


Brutus was destroyed by his personal weakness and poor decisions. Brutus gave


his trust to many people, had a conscience, and had a lust for power. Those are many of


the mistakes Brutus recognizes at the end of the play. Brutus was one of the noblest men


in the play, if not the noblest.
