Julius Caesar Act 3 Scene 2

"There is tears for his love;joy for his fortune; honor for his valor;and death for his ambition."-Julius Caesar,III.ii

Brutus states this in his speech to the Roman people explaining to them his reason for murdering Caesar. In this statement Brutus gives one of ,if not the most important and motivative reasons for murdering Caesar. Over and over again Caesar's ambition is mentioned. Here it is the reason for his death and the answer to Antony's question






In this scene of Shakespeare there were alot of things that I marked. There were many statements that made me think and seemed extremely important but this was the only one that I completely understood why it was significant.






1)How true do you think the statement Antony expressed "The evil that men do lives after them;The good is oft interred with their bones" is?

2)Why are the Roman people so easily convinced of one thing or the other? Are they even really convinced or do they just act in order to get what they want?
