in question was Marc Antony, Caesar’s ally and devoted friend. I believe Shakespeare portrayed him as a noble and loyal hero because Marc Antony stood up for Caesar even in the face of possible danger from the conspirators and the enraged crowd, he was able to turn the crowd against the conspirators and restore Julius Caesar’s honor, and he continues to be an honorable man towards Brutus even after his death.

Brutus and Caesar had a lot of power already in the Roman society, but who would make a better leader? Some may say that “Caesar is the best ruler for Rome”, but I believe that Brutus is the most fit character to be a leader in the entire book.

He has many of the leader characteristics such as,loyalty, trust, dedication, Idealism

The Tragedy of… Marcus Brutus? Whether or not Caesar is the main protagonist in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar has caused much controversy. Many people consider Marcus Brutus as the main character in the play. Unfortunately, Shakespeare is not here to justify these thought-provoking questions. All there is to help determine the truth is his writing of the play. Caesar’s early demise is enough evidence that the play is more focused on Brutus, but further proof is that Brutus is an absolute Roman, his
the people are well disposed toward Brutus and his reasoning, and the promise to say nothing against the conspirators. The loyal and underestimated Antony gives his speech to his fellow Romans to incite the crowd into a mob frenzy, turning the citizens minds from the fact that Caesar had to die for the good of Rome, to Caesar had been murdered.
