Natalie Maschler Period 7 World History Honors March 8th, 2023 Julius Caesar began his Roman leadership in the years 60 BC to when he died in 44 BC. Julius had many achievements and successful conquests that made him a popular military leader in Rome. However, it was later realized by the people of Rome that he was a very manipulative and selfish leader who cared more about himself and his own power than the success and power of Rome.

A totally tyrant of the kingdom. For these self-indulgent reasons Cassius is a villain. Trying to take something good and spin it into his own benefit. Brutus on the other hand was only half bought in, he didn't really want to take the life of a friend even if it is for the betterment of Rome. He finally agree with Cassius’s persuasion.
Brutus fled his country where he eventually killed himself. While Brutus experiences an impactful turning point, Cassius ' actions and personality remain fairly constant within the negative traits. He represents gloominess from the beginning of the play; he is jealous, manipulative and pessimistic. “O coward that I am, to live so long to see my best friend ta 'en before my face.” (V.III.34-35).
If Brutus was a leader, so many citizens wouldn't have struggled under Caesar’s rule. Third of all, Cassius believed that Caesar did not deserve all of the power that he received which led him to performing these tasks of manipulation. Another reason in saying that Cassius was a villain is that Cassius killed Julius Caesar. First, he was an active part in the murder.
Cassius manipulates Brutus to the point of making him feel as if there are several people wanting Brutus to do something about Caesar.

Notes to editor Hi, I hope you like the book I wrote. Since this is the first time I have written for you, I had to take an educated guess regarding the writing style and “voice” of the piece.

(II, i, 53-55) which allows to say that he wants Rome to be just and do whatever it takes to maintain it away from any threat. Indeed, Brutus states this very clearly when he says, “If it’s for the good of all Romans, I’d do it even if it meant my death. Let the gods give me good luck only as long as I love honor more than I fear death.” (I, ii, 86-88), he explicitly says that the good of the majority is over any feeling or personal benefit which in this case is the love of Caesar for him and viceversa, and the throne. To conclude, Brutus is a complex character that is characterized by three recurrent traits: his well-intention, his hypocrisy, and his naivet.
There are different qualities to people and some of those qualities are made for the leaders of the world. For instance, someone who would not be able to find the bad in people may not be the best kind of leader. Someone who can tell if someone would be lying, someone who is loyal are the people who would be the best kinds of leaders. Brutus, would have been a good leader.

The noblest Roman of all was Brutus for many reasons. In many cases Brutus would rather chose death over a life with no honor. He claimed all the traits honor; integrity, decency, morality, and rectitude. His decision to kill Caesar was not based on his own views or the views and beliefs of others he made his decision on which would be best for rome and for its people. Brutus was a gentle and honest man who killed caesar for the right reasons and not just so he would have a greater shot at becoming the king of rome.
Cassius saves the life of Caesar, sees him beg for water, and witnesses his epileptic seizure. From these weaknesses, Cassius finds himself to be just as worthy of the crown as is Caesar. His reasons are emotionally tied to getting rid of Caesar, Brutus chooses to become a conspirator for the good of Rome. He does not know how Caesar will use his power.
