Question

Analyze Tragedy Brutus and Julius Caesar both have traits that are associated with tragic heroes. In your opinion, which character is really the tragic hero of the play? Explain your response.

Answer 1

When someone possesses such heroic qualities and dies, it's a real tragedy. The main reason that Marcus Brutus deserves the title of tragic hero is his noble temperament. First of all, throughout the entire play, he never deceives anyone. Even though he did murder Julius Caesar, he was doing it for the benefit of Rome.
