Romances -Brutus

Brutus followed nearly all of the chivalric qualities. He was constantly saying how he did every for his country, and the daring acts he performed were all due to his honor for his country. He was loyal to his country by trying to give the people freedom, but he saw mostly only Cassius' perspective, so he tried to change some things that were already quite peaceful. He was also very courageous and fought for victory and went to war with Antony. However, he sometimes lost courage, for example he was frightened when he saw Caesar's ghost, and he committed suicide because he felt that he had lost in his heart, and Cassius was gone. He was not so courteous, because even though Julius Caesar was his friend, he killed him, but he thought it was right. he didn't follow anyone's rule except for Cassius' and sometimes he disagreed with his ideas. He kind of followed the rule of chastity, because even though he was married to Portia, he was a loyal husband mostly, except for when he didn't tell Portia what he was doing at night. He mourned a little for her death too, but he was careful not to show a leak in his honor and courage. On the whole, Brutus was a great man who followed mostly all of the chivalric code, except sometimes he was mislead by Cassius or images of Caesar's ghost.

  1. I like how you include the extent to which Brutus followed the code.
