Brutus vs Nobility

Not only is the famed Decius Brutus not noble, he is an outright coward. He began the story with “emotional problems”, from which he never recovered, and died a death less noble than any other. 2 37) For, “only cowards die many times before their death, the valiant never taste of death but once. As far as being a Roman, Brutus was far from what was desired. 2 32) However, it is quite obvious that Brutus lived his own death over many times before the act was committed as he gave indication of by his plan, one which made him appear to not only having died at the hands of another man, but in battle. Now, could a man who lies through his teeth to make up for his own moral insecurity truly be that noble? Why would a man so noble depend upon suicide to escape from the treachery of the enemy, who would have surely delivered unto him a noble death? Brutus was a coward, a liar, and would not even give his adversaries the dignity of killing him as he did their leader. What kind of man turns so quickly and coldly on a friend of so many years? How could a man so traitorous and fickle in nature possibly considered the noblest of all? The mere idea of condoning a murder of one of your best friends is despicable, but Brutus went even farther, Brutus physically took part in the hacking of Caesar’s body into small pieces of a man. n serve as a leader and decision maker for a country when he cannot have a healthy relationship with his own wife? His quick responses and out right cruelness to her, who is only looking to please him, show his emotional instability and disrespect for people of any other stature than his own.

Next I’d like to bring up the blunt but piercing and overwhelming of his “good friend”, Julius Casear. Not only did he kill his best friend only hours after saying there was really no cause for it, he did the same to himself. 1 19), yet Brutus’ consent is truly the only reason that the assassination of Caesar ever took place.
