After hundreds of years William Shakespeare's tragedy of Julius Caesar has been studied, reviewed, taught, read and immortalized in films. Because a voluminous amount of resources can be poured into this simple work? As with Shakespeare's other works, this work has been an excellent tool for specialists, authors and all those interested in having an insight into human action and reason tragedy follows Cassius and Brutus, the protagonists while trying to overthrow Julius Caesar from the monarchy in Rome plan to achieve this by killing him and then taking power for themselves. These two and six others succeed in killing Caesar but do not take power instead, three other men as triumvirs. Octavius, Antony and Lepidus decided to divide the empire into three sections The climax and resolution of this tragedy ends with the three triumvirs crushing the failed usurpers. One of these, Brutus, was, is and will still be an interesting character for everyone to study in life. This was because Shakespeare and history showed him as a tragic hero, but not sung about in most historical documents. To put it briefly, a tragic hero is a figure who occupies a high position in society or a situation and causes his own downfall but ultimately becomes enlightened. Brutus displayed these qualities from beginning to end by identifying numerous flaws in his mind and acting on them, thereby becoming fully enlightened; however, this enlightenment also includes his climatic death. To begin with, many have examined the reasons for this tragic hero's need for enlightenment. This stemmed from all the faults and faults that Brutus had. Brutus throughout the entire play made many mistakes. These errors, which seemed small for the moment, grew and exploded in Brutus... middle of paper... truth be told, he caused more trouble for the people of Rome whom he held so close than good, but it is not for his actions which, among the conspirators, deserve a certain sympathy and honor. Shakespeare in his play Julius Caesar accurately and expertly showed how Brutus was a tragic hero. Making the protagonist appear at first glance like the antagonist and yet have him enlighten minutes before death is just one skill that Shakespeare seems to possess. Because of these many other skills that Shakespeare used in his other works, many people for different reasons study the characters of Brutus and tragic heroes similar to him. Thanks to Shakespeare, Brutus will remain a famous or infamous character throughout history and will be implicated in one of humanity's greatest mysteries: himself.
