Title: Marcus Brutus This is an essay analyzing the character of Marcus Brutus in William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.

In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, the character I found to be interesting was Marcus Brutus. As a conspirator against Julius Caesar and a tragic hero in the end, his characteristics were ones that I thought were admirable. Brutus is a complicated and dynamic character because he is easily manipulated, he vacillates between being indecisive and decisive, and he proves himself to be an honorable man. <Tab/>First, because he sees everyone else …

…I found Brutus to be easily manipulated, dynamic, and honorable. His weakness of having his mind controlled easily led him to the direction of changing from being indecisive to decisive. His decisions then, led him to his fate as a tragic hero. Last of all, his strength as noble man made him honorable. I believe Shakespeare's message, by the way he characterizes Brutus, is that mankind is not as honorable or trustworthy as you think.
