Answer 2

Answer:

He was a patriot

Explanation:

The play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare has caused much debate as to whether or not the character Brutus was justified in his actions, the most notable of which includes killing Julius Caesar, the emperor of Rome. The distinctions between the two different classifications of Brutus include that of a patriot or a betrayer to his country. Brutus was a patriot due to his unwavering loyalty to Rome and his determination to act on what he defined as what was best for Rome, as seen when he is described as the "noblest Roman of them all (Shakespeare)." Some may say that Brutus was a betrayer as he killed the leader of Rome, Julius Caesar. However, he was doing what all the other members thought was best.
