The most interesting character is....

I found Brutus to be a pretty interesting character. The only reason he lived a long life is because Caesar spared him. He then goes on to become Caesar’s advisor. It is interesting that the only reason he was alive was because of Caesar and he ended up being his demise. Even more interesting is that Caesar knew when he spared Brutus that he would not be explicitly loyal to Caesar and yet he still allowed him to move up in the ranks. In the reading it alludes that without Brutus the assassination would not have been successful. Brutus was the ideological backbone to the ploy and allowed Mark Anthony to be spared, who later went on to rule Rome. Brutus killed the dictatorship that threatened to ruin the democracy that had been found, thus making him a very if the not the most interesting character.
