The Honor Dilemma

I.iii
Lines 304-308

Excerpt: Well, Brutus, thou art noble; yet I see thy honorable mettle may be wrought from that it is disposed; therefore it is meet that noble minds keep ever with their likes; for who so firm that cannot be seduced?

Translation: Well, Brutus, you are noble, but I can see that your good nature can be swayed from its path; it is untrue that noble minds always stay noble; because who is actually so firm that he cannot be lured to the other side?

Analysis:
In these lines, Cassius is speaking thoughtfully to himself. He is part of a rebellion against Caesar. Cassius wonders to himself whether or not he could sway the faithful Brutus against Caesar. Cassius obviously comes to the conclusion that yes, he can convince Brutus because "who so firm that cannot be seduced"?

This passage illustrates the struggle between honor and betrayal- both among people and within the mind. Cassius is trying to lure Brutus to the side of the conspirators and Brutus will have to choose. But are Cassius' intentions dishonorable? Surely, he has only the best interests of Rome in mind; he does not want Caesar taking over, for he feels it would damage the republic. What would the honorable choice be for Brutus to make? Betray his king or betray his people? What will noble Brutus do?
