Act 5 Analysis
Complete all parts of each question.  Answer in complete paragraphs.

1. Now that you have read the play in its entirety, decide for yourself whether or not Shakespeare believed that the murder of Caesar was in the best interests of the Roman people?
-To answer this question, reflect upon the facts of the play: who lives? (were their acts just?), who dies? (were their acts unjust?), and how do the speeches associated with their deaths shed light on the way “God” (in the case of a fictitious story, the playwright himself) would judge them and their actions?


2. . Since Brutus himself is said to have been “the noblest Roman of all” (V, 74), why do you think he is referred to in this manner?  Do you agree with this statement?  Explain


3. . What is said and done in Act V that supports the comment: Brutus' and Cassius' defeat is revenge for Caesar's murder?
