In the viewing of, the gruesome events that happened in ancient Rome in 44 BC. Everyone had questioned why? Who? When we found out the main culprit it left us with more questions than answer even today this man known as Brutus, was he looking of for his country and people or was he jealous and took a great man's life. Well, I am here maybe not to give you a direct answer but at least an opinion. So in the question, whether Brutus is a Patriot or a Traitor. I find that he is, in fact, a traitor Caesar's gruesome death would have never happened if Brutus wouldn’t have been jealous and unstable. But that doesn't mean he's not a good man and was trying to save his country maybe he just did it in a wrong way. Well yes, that makes sense if you didn’t …show more content…
We know why that he supposedly did it for the people of Rome. Because he believed the Caesar was ambitious. We know this because of this in Act 2 Scene “Oh, how I wish we could oppose Caesar’s spirit—his overblown ambition—and not hack up Caesar himself!” What Brutus did necessary, I think both sides can agree no but people who may believe the Brutus was a patriot to his country that he was only doing what was best for his country at the time and he had no choice. Well, your right in the fact he had no choice he was pretty much mind manipulated to believe the Caesar was a bad man and didn’t belong as ruler more deeply so than what he was already thinking. But that does not give him the right or the persuasion to do whatever he wants including killing Caesar.

Please, he knows exactly what he was doing or else why was he making all the decisions and plan most of the events that happened. We know that Brutus plan pretty much everything because of what he said in Act 2 Scene 1/2 “But, unfortunately, Caesar has to bleed if we’re going to stop him. Noble friends, let’s kill him boldly but not with anger. Let’s carve him up like a dish fit for the gods, not chop him up like a carcass fit for dogs. Let’s be angry only long enough to do the deed, and then let’s act like we’re disgusted by what we had to do. This will make our actions seem practical and not vengeful. If we appear calm to the people, they’ll call us surgeons rather than murderers.” The Patriot people believe that he was a patriot say that he was just in the wrong place at the right time and got dragged into the wrong situation and that he’s only human we make mistakes. Yes, we all mistakes and we can sometimes get in things that we normally get into but, if that was the case when he realized what he had done you would think he would back out or apologize or even say this was my bad. But nothing, nada all he did is defended himself and his actions because realized that what he just did was wrong and he can’t take back a life he just took

Ethos Pathos Logo Analysis

For example, a dentist recommending a certain brand of toothpaste to keep teeth white, people would be swayed to buy this brand because of the professional’s area of expertise. Logos uses facts and logic to appeal to the listener. For instance, nine in ten doctors recommend eating fruits and vegetables every day to reduce the risk of…
