What was the speech of Marcus Brutus?

Julius Caesar Act III Scene 2

Romans, countrymen, and lovers! hear me for my

cause, and be silent, that you may hear: believe me

for mine honour, and have respect to mine honour, that

you may believe: censure me in your wisdom, and

awake your senses, that you may the better judge.

If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of

Caesar's, to him I say, that Brutus' love to Caesar

was no less than his. If then that friend demand

why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer:-

Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved

Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living and

die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live

all free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him;

as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was

valiant, I honour him: but, as he was ambitious, I

slew him. There is tears for his love; joy for his

fortune; honour for his valour; and death for his

ambition. Who is here so base that would be a

bondman? If any, speak; for him have I offended.

Who is here so rude that would not be a Roman? If

any, speak; for him have I offended. Who is here so

vile that will not love his country? If any, speak;

for him have I offended. I pause for a reply.

What do the apparition and Brutus's actions reveal about his state of mind?

Brutus when saw the ghost of Julius Caesar was actually in a state of complicated mental shock and apprehension. Its because he knew in his mind that no matter what the other conspirators have told him (against Caesar) to bring him in their group, he should have given it a rational and un-biased thought. The following actions he took especially the one when he stabbed the heart of Caesar;he knew from his conscience that he wasn't completely right.

There was something wrong he was doing, as if his mind was in 2 parts : on 1 hand his love for the Rome and on the other hand his friend - Caesar.

But the conspirators specially Cassius played very delicately in moulding Brutus' fickle mind against his friend.

Often when we do something bad, which our conscience tells us, though we don't believe them, comes in front of us in some frame of reference. In this case Brutus saw the apparition of Caesar because he knew that he did wrong to him. Caesar 's appearance some what adds to the taste of the drama.

Shakespeare have mostly mentioned the ghosts in his other dramas specially when he wants to bring out the irony of any grief-stricken situation like in Macbeth too.

Why does Caesar believe Cassius is dangerous?

"Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look. He thinks too much. Such men are dangerous."

What extended metaphor does Brutus use to describe how Caesar may act if he is crowned king?

The extended metaphor Brutus uses to describe how Caesar may act if he is crowned king is the ladder.... Caesar climbing the ladder of prosperity, he would reach the top. He may forget bout the people of Rome. He will look into the clouds and indulge in the wealth and fortune.

What are some negative aspects of Tiberius as Roman Emperor?

Tiberius was an interesting emperor as he had a lot of problems, both personal and political. His personality was his biggest negative aspect. He was a dour old sourpuss, but perhaps events in his life made him that way. He abandoned Rome and left the day to day running of the empire to a subordinate, Sejanus, who was a power hungry tyrant. When Tiberius was made aware of this, he instigated what is described as a "reign of terror" against all of Sejanus' followers.

What are 6 quotes that show that the conspirators wanted Julius Caesar dead in the play?

Our purpose necessary and not envious:

Which so appearing to the common eyes,

We shall be call'd purgers, not murderers.

And for Mark Antony, think not of him;

For he can do no more than Caesar's arm

When Caesar's head is off.

It must be by his death: and for my part,

I know no personal cause to spurn at him,

But for the general. He would be crown'd:

How that might change his nature, there's the question.

And after this let Caesar seat him sure;

For we will shake him, or worse days endure.

And why should Caesar be a tyrant then?

Poor man! I know he would not be a wolf,

But that he sees the Romans are but sheep:

He were no lion, were not Romans hinds.

Those that with haste will make a mighty fire

Begin it with weak straws: what trash is Rome,

What rubbish and what offal, when it serves

For the base matter to illuminate

So vile a thing as Caesar!

It is no matter; let no images

Be hung with Caesar's trophies. I'll about,

And drive away the vulgar from the streets:

So do you too, where you perceive them thick.

These growing feathers pluck'd from Caesar's wing

Will make him fly an ordinary pitch,

Who else would soar above the view of men

And keep us all in servile fearfulness.

Wherefore rejoice? What conquest brings he home?

What tributaries follow him to Rome,

To grace in captive bonds his chariot-wheels?

You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things!
