Question

"show how Brutus is divided in his loyalty to Caesar and Rome"?

Answer 1

Think you put this in the wrong category! (Sounds like a homework question - why don't you do your homework yourself, and then you won't need to rely on Yahoo! Answers for a coherent argument!)

Answer 2

Why? Do your own homework, don't expect me to do it for you.

Quad Erat demonstrandum you little oik.

Answer 3

I thought Brutus was divided between his friendship with Pop-eye and his love for Olive oil?

Man I should read more history books and watch less TV

Answer 4

Presuming that this is ancient history and not Shakespeare, Brutus was torn between loyalty to the concept of the republic of Rome, governed by the elected (if often corrupt) senate. This devotion to the republic cannot be overstated. Roman standards bore the letters SPQR Senatus Populusque Romanus. This system had survived for over 500 years. The advent of Julius Caius Caesar saw the Roman people turn to their new hero. Caesar was eventually seduced by their admiration and by the promise of unlimited power and accepted the post of Dictator in perpetuity. This post was normally only held for a year or for the duration of an emergency.

Brutus had fought alongside Caesar for years but ebventually sided with Pompey in the civil war which followed Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon. Following Caesar's victory at Pharsalus, Brutus was forgiven by Caesar and brought back into the fold. This was probably a move by Caesar to be seen to heal rifts in Roman society. However, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Seeing caesar fall victim to belief in his own legend and even deification, Brutus eventually joined the conspirators and struck on the Ides of March 44BC. Some commentators also believe that Caesar showed favour to Marc Antony, effectively putting Brutus' nose out of joint.

Answer 6

Before I start, I've never been to "Rome" restaurant but I have been to "Julius Caesars"

I suggest you tell Brutus I understand his quandry but would plump for the safe bet, which is the cheap and cheerful "Julius Caesars" - can't remember the name of the road but it's just off Percy Street, opposite that Tapas place that used to be the "Barn Again Bistro".

I recommend the Viagra pizza, very hot and spicy :)

Answer 7

Funny name for a restaurant, I don't think it's going to be very good from a business standpoint.
