BBC Shakespeare’s Animated Series: Julius Caesar

Do you agree that Brutus had a noble motive when murdering his adopted father, Julius Caesar? Discuss.

       
        After I have watched BBC Shakespeare’s Animated Series: Julius Caesar, I am agree that Brutus had a noble motive when murdering his adopted father, Julius Caesar. In the movie shows Caesar was killed in 15th March 44 BC by 60 of Roman senators that led by Gaius Cassius Longinus and his adopted son, Marcus Junius Brutus. They stabbed Caesar about 23 times until death in the Theatre of Pompey. In addition, Brutus did like that because he loved Rome than Caesar and it shows that he wanted to save Rome from Caesar domination. He knows that his adopted father is very cruel, also had done so many immoral acts towards the society by sleeping all the wives of the senators and he did not show the good attitudes for being a great leader to his country.

       
        Other than that, Brutus does not hate Caesar but he is just afraid that Caesar must turn into a tyrant and it will make Rome become more suffer. That is why Brutus killed Julius Caesar and it is show that he had a very noble motive by killing Julius Caesar  and he also thinks about others.

Ancients behaving badly: Julius Caesar

Based on the documentary A.B.B, do you think all the vices committed by Julius Caesar were necessary in order to safeguard the superiority of Rome as the greatest civilization in the ancient world?

          
          Based on the documentary that I have watched I think all the vices committed by Julius Caesar were unnecessary in order to safeguard the superiority of Rome. He is actually was a great leader, he manage to guide Rome in a supreme place before century. Other than that, he knows how to handle the politics and armies but Julius Caesar behaviour in order to protect Rome can be classified as cruel. He does not care what people say, he’s doing an immoral acts by sleeping all the wives of the senators to show to the other man that he is immortal and no one dares to fights him. Besides, Julius Caesar also watched 20,000 of women and children died in starvation just because he did not let the people passed the circumvallation to protect his army.

          
          In conclusion, even though Julius Caesar was making Rome a powerful empire during his time but I think Julius Caesar’s vices were unnecessary in order to protect Rome and he has no humanity and morality. He enjoy himself by seen other people being suffer.
