The tragedy, Julius Ceaser, by William Shakespeare surfaces an interesting idea. The main
character Brutus, has the tragic flaw of being too idealistic. That in itself, is perfectly
harmless, but as with everything there is a point of excess. His excessive idealism brought
down not only him, but the people around him.

To begin with, idealism is the concept of acting according to what you percieve as
perfection. Brutus avoided reality by creating a world that he seen fit. During the murder
of Ceaser he justified it by calling it a sacrifice, rather than the blood bath it actually was.
Act III Scene 1: (Brutus) “People and senators, be not affrighted. Fly not; stand still;
ambition’s debt is paid.” As the audience realizes Brutus’s perception is not as it should
be, fear and pity are evoked, making him the tragic hero.

At the same time, idealism can be healthy. Realism, the cotrary of idealism can be
harsh and cause unnecessary stress, where as a normal amount of idealism can make life
much more pleasant. When everything seems to go your way it may be hard to make
responsible decisions. Act III Scene 1: (Cassius) “Brutus, a word with you. You know
not what you do; do not consent...” Had Brutus been more aware of what was really
occurring, Rome may have been much more prosperous.

As a result of Brutus’s lack of grasp on reality many innocent lives were lost. This
is not a normal consequence of idealism, however it’s an example of the possibilities. Act
IV Scene 1: (Brutus) “Yes, Cassius, and from henceforth, when you are over-earnest with
your Brutus, he’ll think your mother chides, and leave you so.” Consequently, the
conspirators, destroyed the only man who could make calm from chaos, in Rome.

Brutus was tragically flawed with too much idealism. A certain amount of idealism
may not be dangerous, but Julius Caeser displays what more could cause. By not just
accepting things the way they are, Brutus wreaked havoc on the lives of his friends, family
and the citizens of Rome, granted his idealism was not the only contributing factor. It
intrigues me to think that such a seemingly minor characteristic could cause such major
problems.


the magic a google search can do for you :) i don't know if you can use any of that but there you go.

Teachers know of google too.
Whenever I need to write bookreports or any other stupid essay, my English/Dutch teacher took a random sentence and googled it.
If your essay was there, say BB to grades
