Julius Caesar

Brutus also shows that he is a hypocrite with Antony because if he wasn’t a hypocrite than he would have the same reaction to both situations. He would either want to kill both of them or not kill either of them. Caesar never acted that way so therefore Brutus is a hypocrite. He said he wasn’t going to kill Caesar but than his friend convinced him and he decided to kill him and join the conspiracy.

Therefore, Brutus was a hypocrite in the situations with Caesar and Antony. Brutus went against what he thought was wrong. Brutus joined the conspirators in agreement to kill Caesar. But Cassius persuaded and convinced Brutus that Caesar was a coward and everyone would love Brutus if he were ruler. That he would have no power if Caesar died. He thought that Antony wasn’t a threat to the conspirators. Brutus believed that Antony was only the arm of Brutus. Also, Antony never acted in a power-hungry way so it showed Brutus that he wasn’t powerful. Also, Brutus wanted to kill Caesar because he was afraid he would act in a “power-hungry” way.
