Question

BRUTUS:

Think not, thou noble Roman,
That ever Brutus will go bound to Rome.
He bears too great a mind.



Which theme does this excerpt address?


betrayal

fate

ambition

honor

Answer 1

This particular excerpt addresses the theme of honor. Brutus here implies that he will not go to Rome because of the awareness he himself holds within his 'great mind'. Within the play, Brutus's honor also becomes his weakness, due to his expectations of others to act similarly to himself.
