there was a Brutus once that would have brook’d Th-eternal devil to keep his state in Rome As easy as a King
“Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him”.
Quote (Act III, Scene II).
“But, for my own part, it was Greek to me”. Julius Caesar Quote (Act I, Scene II).
Shakespeare shows us that love and hate are used together. Brutus’s decision to stab Caesar in the back isn’t Was what I believe, a difficult choice for Brutus. He has to choose between his loyalty to Rome and his loyalty to his friend, who seems like he could become a tyrant if he becomes king. When Brutus hears how the commoners are treating Caesar like a king already. he’s worried for Rome.
Even though Brutus loves Caesar well, he also fears that his friend will be crowned king, which goes against the ideals of Rome
After killing Caesar and washing his hands in his blood, Brutus defends his actions:
If there be any in this assembly, any dear
friend of Caesar’s, to him I say that Brutus’ love
to Caesar was no less than his. If then that friend
demand why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my
answer: not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved
Rome more.
Within Porphyria’s Lover, Robert Browning shows love as something to be feared in this dramatic monologue. In the start of the poem, the speaker goes out of his way to describe the setting. We are told ‘the sullen wind was soon awake it tore the elm tops down for spite and did its worst to vex the lake.’ in this Browning personifies hate by describing the weather with word such as tore, spite and vex which could be used to describe how he is feeling in the story. but has used love in a way that he can’t handle. The words used for hate are very viscous and aggressive, this is showing the point of view of someone who can watch from a distance and actually see what it’s doing . Love is seen as very warm and romantic. In this monologue love is said to describe a woman by the name of Porphyria who has blonde hair and blue eyes. This love doesn’t last long because it slowly develops into a more strange form of love this is because he uses her hair to strangle her to death.
Julius Caesar BRUTUS :It must be by his death, and for my part I know no personal cause to spurn at him But for the general. He would be crowned. How that might change his nature, there’s the question. It is the bright day that brings forth the adder And that craves wary walking. Crown him that,And then I grant we put a sting in him That at his will he may do danger with. Act 2 Scene 1
