Do you agree that Brutus had a noble motive when murdering his adopted father, Julius Caesar? Discuss.




                                      
          Gaius Julius Caesar wasdictator of Roman Republic and a distinguished writer of Latin prose. Julius died in 15th March 44 BC during his age was 55 years. He was killed by 60 of Roman senators that led by Gaius Cassius Longinus and his adopted son, Marcus Junius Brutus. Caesar was stabbed about 23 times until death in the Theatre of Pompey. 

                To answer this question given, I disagree that Brutus had a noble motive when murdering his adopted father, Julius Caesar and there are several reasons why Brutus kill Caesar even though he actually loves Caesar.


            First of all, in his claimed he only stated that he loved Rome more and Caesar was an ambitious man. He also wanted to save Rome from destroy in Caesar domination. 

           In my opinion, I think Brutus had confuses situation to make decision. Moreover, he had been pressured by Cassius who seduced him to murder his adopted father. If he had a noble motive, he will not hesitated when he want to stab Caesar and then felt guilty after killing Caesar. 
  
           Other than that, he also ran away to Asia (Philippine) with Cassius since the Roman was looking for them. It shows that he scared to face Roman because he had kill Caesar for noble motive.  He actually had no plan to kill Caesar. 

         Lastly, Brutus did not had noble motive when murdering Caesar. He is an immature person and cannot think wisely during the situation. In addition, he was influence by Cassius.
