Julius Caesar And Osama Bin Laden

In the “Tragedy of Julius Caesar,” Marc Antony once said, “The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interrèd with their bones.” I agree that people are remembered by what bad they did, and not the good. Brutus is an example of only being remembered for killing Julius Caesar, although others may argue he is remembered for his good. Another person that is remembered for the evil they did was Osama Bin Laden.

In the case of Brutus, he was not given enough time to show that Caesar dying was for the better. The acts of decency were buried with his body. In Osama Bin Laden's case even after his death, the United States still has to live with the terrible crimes he committed. The evil he committed still lives
