Alternate Ending

Cassius and Brutus wouldn't kill themselves at the end of the play. Instead of killing themselves they go the less honorable way. They decide to fight against the people who are with Mark Anthony. They fight only to show that they persistant and care about what they believe in. They get their point across and die in battle. All of the men left say that Bruttus was a very honorable man because he was always with Caesar till he decideed to go with Casssius.

Act 4 quotation

(Original) Brutus: Remember March, the ides of March remember. Did not great Julius bleed for justice' sake? What villain touched his body, that did stab, And not for justice? What, shall one of us That struck the foremost man of all this world But for supporting robbers, shall we now Contaminate our fingers with base bribes, And sell the mighty space of our large honors For so much trash as may be grasped thus? I had rather be a dog and bay the moon Than such a Roman. (Modern) Brutus: Remember March, remember March 15th. Didn't the great Julius die for the sake of justice? Who would kill him, if not for justice? What, did one of us kill the greatest man in the world to support robbers? And now are we going to dirty our hands by accepting bribes and selling our great offices for money? I'd rather be a dog howling at the moon than be that kind of dirty Roman. (Analysis) Brutus is saying this to Cassius while they are bickering back and forth in their tent. I believe that this quote of Brutus' relates to honor. Brutus is saying that they need to honor their reason for killing Caesar. Their reason was for justice, for Rome. So if they start accepting bribes and becoming such lowly men, then Julius shouldn't have died. Brutus is saying that he is honorable enough to have never taken these bribes and that he would rather be a dog than do that.
