Honor was spoken about more than it was shown just there is still some evidence of honor displayed in this play. Many characters in the play, Julius Caesar, did not show honor towards others in many different situations.There was a large use of the word honor, especially in the scene here Antonym was addressing the audience, but the word was overused and sarcastic. For Brutes is an honorable man, So are they all, all honorable men (3. 2. 74) Antonym stated that all the conspirators were honorable and by this he was trying to persuade the audience to disagree with this statement. This speech mentioned honor numerous times but there was no sincerity about it being displayed. both the conspirators apparently killed Caesar for all of Rome but we know that especially with Cassias and Case, that they did it not only for Rome but for themselves. L was born free as Caesar so were you We both have fed as well, and e can both Endure the winters cold as well as he (1. 2. 97) Cassias was Jealous of Careers indicator and therefore the killing of Caesar from the view of C assias and Case was ignoble.

This was also a problem with Antonym Careers spirit, ranging for revenge, With Ate by his side, come hot from hell (3. 1. 270) Antonym needed to honor the memory of his close friend by killing the conspirators.This could be seen as an honorable act because he needed to stand by his friend but it as also a savage act of proclaiming war with many causing numerous deaths, such as Brutes, Tinnitus, Case and many more. Therefore the act of being honorable was diminished as it wasnt an honorable act to all. Honor was a trait spoken about more than displayed but there was some displays of honorable and righteous actions. Brutes was a very honorable character through and throughout the whole play and was the only character who stuck by his values. Set honor in one eye and death I the rather die than be dishonorable and throughout the play he displays this many mimes. Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.

In Brutes speech he wanted to tell the audience what happened honestly and he made an effort with Antonym also, although that didnt end up being a wise decision. Even at th e end, when Brutes committed suicide, it was about honor.He did not want to be captured and paraded through his fellow Romans so he had Strata, a fellow of a good respect, to assist him to kill himself and to calm the ghost of Caesar.
