Shakespeare's Brutus. His Maturation Into Tragic Hero.
This paper examines how Shakespeare paints Brutus as the tragic hero in "Julius Caesar". This is evident by Shakespeare's sympathetic portrayal of Brutus, who is shown to act out of loyalty to ideals, rather than out of selfishness. Shakespeare creates a tragic hero out of Brutus by blending in him the strength of virtue and the weakness of naivete. Brutus ultimately dies for his love of justice. 8 pgs.
