“This will make our purpose necessary, and not envious “ this quotation clearly shows that Brutus is honourable and is as well a loyal friend because it makes us know that he isn’t killing him out of envy but because he feels it is for an honourable cause. Honour and loyalty drove Brutus into killing Caesar because he felt it was what was best for the Roman republic and that it was the people’s desire and the only way to prove that he was a loyal Roman and was honourable was to kill Caesar.

Everything Brutus did in the play was obviously guided by an honourable cause. In the play Brutus is characterized as being very honourable and I think he was motivated by it because he wanted to maintain a good public image. In the play Cassuis kept telling him how honourable the people considered him to be and he wanted to maintain it. As a result of this he was ready to do anything in the name of honour this is clearly shown in act one scene two where he says, “Let the gods so speed me as I love the name of honour more than I fear death.” This clearly tells us that honour is his number one priority and was ready to go any length to ensure that he doesn’t loose an honourable name. Also because of the fact that he was motivated by honour, he thought a lot before joining the conspiracy. He had to totally convince himself that he was doing it for an honorable cause before he joined the conspiracy. Even when he agreed to join the conspiracy he decided that he would kill him in a way that would show that he wasn’t doing it for selfish reasons but for an honourable cause and this is clearly seen in act two scene two where he says, ”Let us kill him boldly and not wrathfully; Lets carve as a dish fit for gods and not carcass fit for hounds.” This quotation clearly shows that even though he is killing Caesar he wants to do it in a way that would indeed prove him to be an honourable man and if you read the play further down he says that they would be called purgers not murderers this shows that cares a lot about what people think of him and isn’t willing to soil his name. All this tells us of how honourable Brutus was and that he didn’t kill Caesar for hate but for honour.

Another thing that made Brutus act the way he did was the fact that he was very loyal to the Roman republic, to Caesar as a friend, and the Roman people. Brutus was loyal to the Roman republic because he genuinely loved it and liked the fact that it was democratic and didn’t want anyone to come and become a tyrant. He was also loyal to Caesar because he loved Caesar as a friend and wouldn’t want to harm him. As a result of the how loyal he was to the republic he killed Caesar even though he loved him so much because he felt that Caesar might be a tyrant and that that would ruin the republic. This is clearly shown in act two scene one where he says, “ It must be by his death and for my part I know no personal cause to spurn at it but for the general” This clearly shows that he did it simply for the republic because he loved him. It is also very clear that he was loyal to the people and thought they wanted Caesar dead because of Cassuis letters. This is shown where he said” O Rome I make thee a promise, if the redress will follow that received.” All this just proves Brutus to be truly loyal and not selfish.

As said in the beginning Brutus wanted to do it for the republic and not for jealousy. This cause clearly proves him to be indeed loyal and honourable and he indeed thought a lot because of this and tried to always do what was right. In the end he still didn’t get what he wanted because the republic hated him and made war.
