 A Letter from Your Late Caesar

How would you like to be stabbed and killed by the people you were close too, even calling them friends. Well fellow, Romans that was what exactly happened to me. I being murdered by my fellow politicians all came about when they became jealous of my popularity. I merely gave my people what they wanted and they still try to call me friends of theirs, no sir they are not friends at all!

Brutus and the other conspirators will argue and say that they killed me for my own good, and my ego was too big. My last words were “Et Tu Brute?”(III.i.75-80) because I thought he was the most loyal friend I had. I realize now that a true friend is Antony, Brutus and the conspirators cannot be trusted.

When I was stabbed by Brutus I was very shocked. This should prove to you that Brutus will never be a true friend to you and always betray you in the end, and he is power hungry. How can you trust a person with these qualities? You should speculate, can he turn his back on you in your time of need he should not be a leader of Rome ever. This should be concrete that Brutus will never be a true friend.

Antony is a true friend, and will be to you too. I guarantee he will not betray you like the conspirators did to me. He gave you a most noble speech, and he tried to improve his friendship with you. He will look out for you, and not run away when trouble comes. Antony should be your new Caesar because Brutus and the others lack compassion. Compassion is a key to a ruler. The conspirators will rule with an iron fist and be a heartless machine. Antony is the only friend you have left.

As I write my final words to you, I urge you to seek out Antony. Join him and he will become your friend. Join his cause and bring down the conspirators, and choose who you want to be ruled by. Bring down the tyrants!
