question
Look at the prompt for this unit: Was Brutus a betrayer or a patriot? and write a one-sentence statement of your claim. Then write two or three examples of counterclaims to your argument. Provide specific examples from the play to support your claim. Use proper spelling and grammar.
answer
Incorrectish-
Overall Brutus was a patriot. Even though Brutus and others conspirized against Caesar, who was declared by the public to be crowned king, and stabbed his friend in the back, Brutus was more concerned for the success and well-being of the people of Rome. For example, Brutus stated in Julius Caesar, "Had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men?With this I depart: that, as I slew my best lover for the good of Rome, I have the same dagger for myself when it shall please my country to need my death." Of course killing someone whom you were that close and loyal too is an act of betrayal, but think about it this way; Brutus chose to betray one man to stay loyal to the rest of the people of Rome, and would proceed to kill himself if it meant he would help his country.
