If you had the opportunity to save America and renew its importance by doing something you think is right strictly based on facts and not emotion, would you do it? This is the decision Brutus had to make in Shakespeare’s famous play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar. Brutus had to choose between saving Rome or letting Julius Caesar, an ambitious man incapable of being a true leader, destroy their beloved Rome. Brutus had three reasons to join the conspiracy against Caesar: Cassius’ “facts” on why Caesar was incapable of leading Rome, three letters from other conspirators explaining how they needed Brutus to defeat Caesar and the desire to save Rome. Brutus was given three factual reasons and being a stoic, factual reasons were all he needed.
