Brutus' Harmartias         Throughout the play of "Julius Caesar" Brutus makes many mistakes or harmartias, which eventually lead to his tragic downfall. Although Brutus makes many harmartias I feel that these three are the most important. The largest harmartia that Brutus makes is listening to Cassius, in the beginning. Another harmartia Brutus makes is deciding not to kill Antony. Brutus also makes the mistake of meeting Antony's army in Philippi instead of waiting at the camp. …showed first 75 words of 441 total…

…showed last 75 words of 441 total…are weaker because of traveling to Philippi, which contributes to their loss.         Brutus makes very large mistakes in this play. I think that these three are the largest harmartias made because they lead to his death. Brutus listening to Cassius about assassinating Caesar in the beginning of the play. Brutus not killing Caesar. Brutus having his army meet the enemy in Philippi. These mistakes are so large that they cause Brutus' final tragedy, his death.
