Note to Cynatory:

There are many themes in Julius Caesar (e.g. betrayal, ambition, honor, love) and chances are you might violate academic integrity if I write this for you and you submit it as your own work.

So, tell you what -- I've chosen deceit as my theme but I'm going to answer this question in such a way where you will have to do some work on your own such as, giving more textual support and adding your own POV so it's authentic.

Does that sound good? Okay. Let's do this.

In William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, countless occasions of deception have arisen primarily due to Brutus.

Brutus was a deceitful,  murderous apostate who betrayed his country, his morals, his friend, and his king; his violent actions took more lives than Caesar ever could.  

Brutus was the original, Judas Iscariot; he was a deceitful follower of Caesar who sold his king for nearly thirty, excruciating stab wounds. However, Brutus claimed to be Caesar’s faithful friend and disciple – he insisted that Rome always had his loyalty.  

Brutus was a soft-spoken, yet troubled soul. He is applauded for his empathy and loyalty to morality and to his countrymen. In fact, when Cassius had raised the proposition to kill Antony along with Caesar, Brutus answered as such:  

“Let us be sacrificers, but not butchers, Caius.”  

However, this is not out of character for Brutus. He craftily schemed Caesar’s demise while putting on a carefully fabricated façade. Even then, Caesar valued him and referred to him many times as “friend” throughout his final days.  

Caesar voices, “Good friends, go in, and taste some wine with me; And we, like friends, will straightway go together.”  

Brutus, like Judas at the Passover, also went, reclined and drank wine with his lord, fully knowing that he’d take part in the death of his liege.  

Although there is truth in Brutus’s guise, it is far cry from what he truly felt.  His speech after Caesar’s death was a beautiful eulogy that spoke from the heart. He poses this thoughtful question his fellow countrymen:  

“Had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men?”  

Brutus adored Caesar, but he loved Rome more. His duty was not to man, but to mankind.  Nevertheless, Judas claimed to love Christ too. Where do Judas and Christ stand now?  

Brutus states:  

“Our course will seem too bloody, Caius Cassius.”  

Brutus acknowledged that that his actions were bloody. His statement also implies that if it didn’t “seem” to bloody, then killing Antony could have been justifiable also.  

Brutus, one of the twelve major figures in Julius Caesar, was not a deceiver.  

“Shall Rome stand under one man's awe? What, Rome?”  

Brutus’s statement is laced with contempt. Rather than saying, “Rome should, as a people…” he singles out Caesar and undermines his figure. He says “one man” seeking to portray Caesar as a weak leader rather than appealing to his audience by promoting a “we the people” stance.  

He attempts to trick his audience into believing that Caesar is inept. After all, the art of pleasing is the art of deceiving, is it not?
