Noble Brutus
I feel that Brutus is the noblest Roman of all. He killed his friend because he cared more about Rome. He didn't want to kill himself either because it wasn't an honorable thing to do. Lastly, he was willing to fight for Rome in order to keep the Republic in place.
Brutus
I think he will commit suicide because he's afraid of what the people who want to kill him might do to him. It's a difficult decision for him though because he still has a chance of prevailing.

Brutus' Speech
Brutus's speech ultimately fails because Antony's speech proves Brutus' guiltiness in a secretive way. He portrays Caesar as the greatest man ever and makes Brutus look like the worst man ever.

Appeals
Recently I've been trying to convince my parents to start saving up so they can get me a car for my birthday. I can get my license three days after my birthday, so it just makes sense. I told them that getting me a car is more convenient for both me and for them. They won't have to be driving me around everywhere and I won't have to rely on them anymore. I can be more independent. I'd say I'm doing pretty well on talking them into it because they've discussed their plans and getting me a car is in their plans.

Caesar's Death
I believe that Caesar didn't necessarily have to die, but then again he should have.. There's no way Brutus and the other conspirators know for a fact that Caesar was going to become a tyrant. They did it because they were fearful of Caesar. On the other hand, Caesar also already had a lot of power and he was sure to get more. The conspirators are definitely the ones responsible for his death because they are the ones who killed him. They have no one to blame but themselves. They were the ones who made the decision to kill Caesar and follow through with it.

Secret Exchange
Cassius: Have you thought about it anymore?
Brutus: Yes. Caesar is gaining way too much power and something needs to be done before he gains more.
Cassius: I feel the same way.
Brutus: I'm very uneasy about this whole situation, but I know this must be done.
Brutus: Yes. Caesar is gaining way too much power and something needs to be done before he gains more.
Cassius: I feel the same way.
Brutus: I'm very uneasy about this whole situation, but I know this must be done.

Responding to Danger
If someone were to tell me that their dreams or visions foretold danger for me, I would either, depending on how well I know the person, think that they were totally and completely crazy or I would listen to them and take the necessary precautions.
