Brutus the Tragic Hero: Rough Draft Brutus was faced with many difficulties that lead to him becoming a tragic hero. He was forced to make the decision of killing his best friend ( Julius Caesar ) for the “good of Rome” in his opinion. But Brutus also thought that not killing Caesar would make him king and Julius would gain too much power, causing him to do things for himself and not for his own people. Brutus is face to face with a dilemma which could cause him to loose loyalty towards Caesar or gain honor, helping the people of Rome by killing his friend.
All of the main characters fight for friendship even if they do so in different ways and for different reasons. All of them feel in need of someone to talk to if it is about science, about what horrible things one has done or about being different and alone. Another feature is the loss of friendship in all cases. Victor loses his friends to death, and so does Walton while the creature never really “fulfilled his dream of being anyone’s true friend” (Jeray 69). This way the novel not only shows the importance of friendship and having companions but also the possible consequences of either being rejected by everyone or of losing beloved people partly even due to own

Furthermore, the isolation acted by the conspirators towards Caesar are relatively more impactful and direct. The reason is Caesar is forsaken by his friends whom he trusts in, thus when his friends isolate him, it causes more pain and despair. “Et tu, Brute?” A quote that fully demonstrates Caesar’s disappointment and sadness. If Caesar was not assassinated, he will be living a fulfilling life with a lovely family and ruling power of Rome; however, the reality of his death proves the loss of happiness he receives from his friends’ isolation.
Comparative analysis of Aristotelian Equality In Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle asserts one cannot live a virtuous and fulfilling life without the presence of a friend, despite the presence of the essential goods. In addition to his point, he states the best friendships are built upon a true equality which in turn builds on the mutual contributions and goodness of the character of the individuals within a friendship. Without equality, Aristotle argues, friendships tend to fall apart either due to eventual conflicts of interest or the friendship outliving it usefulness. However, some might argue the best friendships do not need any equality among individuals and can still produce the benefits of a Aristotle definition of the best friendship.
