Marcus Brutus


Marcus Brutus is introduced as a noble, honorable Roman citizen. His character is not quite developed yet in Act I but he is portrayed as a man who truly cares about the good of Rome. As a character foil for Antony, he is not as carefree and he keeps his thoughts to himself. His judgement towards Julius Caesar's growing power has been conflicting because even though he is a close friend of Caesar's, his concern for Rome's future leads him to question Caesar's nobility. He is a very intelligent man because no matter how much Cassius tries to manipulate him, he is not easily swayed by others' opinion.
