Question 1
I think Brutus was not an honorable man. He said he was was going to be loyal to Caesar; but then plotted a murder against him. Thatis not being a loyal friend.

We both agree that Brutus was not honorable. It was wrong for Brutus to kill one of his life long friends. He is untrustworthy and the people of Rome had a right to turn their backs on him. @%&*#!%^
Throughout Rome, Brutus is thought to be a wise and noble person. Do you agree? Which of Brutus’ actions so far support your opinion?
Question 2
1. In Act II scene I, Brutus overrides the opinions of the other conspirators on a few occasions. Choose one of those occasions and decide if his choice is wise. Defend your decision.
Question 3
People close to Caesar have definite opinions about him. Brutus, while he loves Caesar, fears that he will be crowned king, On page 779, lines 74-75, Flavius asks, “Who else would soar above the view of man,[a]nd keep us all in servile fearfulness?” On page 783, lines 135-36, Cassius states, “Why man, he doth bestride the world [l]ike a Colossus…” Based on what we see of Caesar in Act II, are these opinions founded? What leads you to your opinion?
