(julius caesar) i need writing an argumentative essay on whether brutus is a betrayer or a patriot. it needs an introduction, a body part one, body part two and a conclusion. i will give more details if they're asked for (i'm trying to keep it simple). i will offer quite a few points to whoever me out here.

I'm strapped for time, but I'll try to give you a start to work from in chronological order.

Brutus was born to his mother, Sevilia, and Marcus Junius Brutus the Elder. However, Sevilia was known to be Julius Caesar's mistress as time went on. This meant that Caesar was regularly in Brutus' home, and was known to Brutus, who aspired to be like Caesar and viewed him as a father figure in his life.

As Brutus grew to be older, he strived for a position in Rome's government. His ambition and opportunist self rose quickly, especially with his connections. When civil war broke out between Caesar and Pompey (Caesar's rival), we see that Brutus sided with Pompey for political gain and fear for his life. This is our first clue regarding Brutus' betrayal. (It should be noted that Caesar gave orders to his army to spare Brutus and take him alive if he was captured. We can assume this was from his love to Sevilia and to Brutus too, as he did know him since his childhood.)  

After Pompey was killed by Ptolemy of Egypt, Caesar pardoned Brutus with amnesty for serving on the opposing side of the civil war. Not long after this, Caesar gives the Brutus the title of Governor of Gaul, which Julius Caesar had recently conquered. About a year after this, Brutus is made to be praetor, for the purpose of drafting new legislation from Caesar.

We can only imagine that drafting Caesar's legislation cemented Brutus' care for him. However, the Senate grew increasingly fed up with Caesar. Brutus recognized that the Senate held a lot of power even though they were being controlled by Caesar. In his mind, Brutus served the Republic of Rome, and what it stood for. He did not this subscribe to this new form of Rome that was developing into an empire by the hands of Julius Caesar, who had declared himself from Consul to dictator.  

For this reason, we see Brutus start to turn in his heart. He justified the dark motives of the Senate to get rid of Caesar in pursuit of a true Roman republic. As it definitely was changing. Brutus was a betrayer, though it was patriotic reasons. However, betrayal is betrayal, and he had a debt to Caesar for various reasons. The opportunist in Brutus got the best of him.

I hoped that helped. I tried to give you lots of background for inspiration.

the play romeo and juliet was one of the most famous love tragedies ever written. this love story unfortunately had a fatal ending. many people argue over why the lovers had died, was it over free will or fate?  

the death of romeo and juliet was partially because of free will. the fact that romeo and juliet got married knowing that there was a bitter feud between their families, the montague and capulet’s. this feud brought on many problems, such as the murder of tybalt by romeo. juliet knew that this might be a problem for her and romeo. juliet had said: “what’s in a name”? which explains her ill fate of being a capulet and romeo being a montague. when romeo tells his servant “ ay, mine own…show more content…

i believe they had died over the love they had for each other, strong enough that their lives could end so suddenly if something horrible had come between them, and that was exactly how it happened. this tragedy occurred within five days of the two meeting, they experienced love at first sight, got married and quickly were dead. free will became a part of this when juliet decided to take friar laurence’s advise in inhaling a potion that will make people assume she is died but will awake in 42 hours prier to when she took it. when romeo had heard the news that juliet was dead, he assumed it was true, and responded with the line; “well juliet, i will lay with thee tonight”. to me this line indicated how he feels for juliet by dying in her will. the fact that free will didn’t take control of the story; it left fate to be the murder of the lovers. fate first kicked in when their eyes met at the capulet party. when romeo and juliet spoke, their words had powerful contentment; they had such a strong feeling for one another that they could lay in each other’s arms forever. their happiness didn’t last long; there were many reasons for this, for example; the marriage lord capulet arranged between paris and juliet. i believe that the plot of the play thus far leads the audience to believe that the deaths were a result of fate. the last act will determine once and for all if it is fate or free will. romeo again challenges fate.
