BBC Shakespeare’s Animated Series-Julius Caesar

Do you agree that Brutus
had a noble motive when murdering his adopted father, Julius Caesar? Discuss.
From what I have watched from the animated series of Julius Caesar, I found that there was a
conspiracy on falling down Julius Caesar between Marcus Junius Brutus (Brutus)
and Gaius Cassius Longinus (Cassius). Both of them were formers who had been
pardoned by Caesar after the battle of Pharsalus. They were responsible and
cooperated in murdered Caesar. So, generally, I am not agreeing to say that
Brutus had a noble motive when murdering his adopted father.
This is because; Brutus was not as noble as people think. Perhaps he
may be a noble man in front of Caesar, but behind him, he was bad man. For
example, before he killed Caesar, he said he didn’t like how Caesar was getting
all of the credit for everything and that he was wrong for helping the
plebians. His saying was fine enough to say that he was not noble man and his
motive was for diminishing his adopted father.
In addition, the actual situation and the real motive of why Brutus
killed Caesar is Brutus wanted to be loyal to Rome, without a single person
ruling. He was more worried about the
city and wanted to kill Caesar, so that there will be no dictator. He believed
that Caesar was too ambitious. If he loved Rome and was a polite man, why did
he have to kill his own adopted father? Julius Caesar had changed the nature of
Roman Empire, and had done many like swept away the old corrupt system and had
set an example to future Roman emperors as well as other future European
leaders to live up to.
