Reflection Paper on "Julius Caesar" by William Shakespeare

"This was the noblest Roman of them all," claims Marc Antony in the play Julius Caesar, written by the renowned playwright William Shakespeare. This famous quote is referring to the noble Brutus, one of the conspirators against Caesar. Although some might say Brutus is not true to Rome because of his betrayal of Caesar, these people are wrong because Brutus is willing to kill his closest friend for what he believes to be best for …

…Brutus is noble because he has great qualities such as honor and justice, but his one flaw, if it can be considered that, is that he loves Rome more than anything. The reason that this is a flaw is that he jumps to the conclusion that Caesar was ambitious and kills him with no evidence. If Brutus does not have this flaw then there would be no one to do what is best for Rome.
