This short excerpt from our video -Brutus: Liberator of Rome or Traitor to Caesar is a composite of lines from players performing Shakespeare's famous play "Julius Caesar". The setting is Caesar's funeral. Brutus, formally Caesar's best friend and protégé had been convinced to participate in eliminating him by the other senators after Caesar had himself declared Dictator for life. In the mind of the conspirators, Caesar was viewed as a tyrant who had overstepped his boundary and was looking to destroy their beloved republic. Brutus shares his conflicted emotions with the crown and outlines why he participated in the coup against his friend and benefactor. In the full length video we look at some of the complex issues facing the Roman republic and Caesar's dictatorship; the historical portrayal of Brutus as a "bad guy", and Shakespeare's (and other's) rehabilitation of Brutus as a tragic figure torn apart by grief and internal conflict.
