The theme I picked for Julius Caesar essay is the mistakes made by Brutus. According to
Mr. Holtz Brutus was stupid and many mistakes. The first one was him even joining the

Brutus actually made two mistakes with Mark Antony. The first was letting Mark Antony

the conspirators except for Brutus and Cassius (they excepted the angry mob and left
