Classical theatre- BRUTUS CHARACTER STUDY

 character study ;

In the original Julius Caesar, Brutus is a supporter of the republic that believes strongly in having a government guided and should be votes of the senators that counts. even thought Brutus loves Julius Caesar as friend; Brutus is opposes the ascension of any single man to the position of dictator therefore he fears that Caesar aspires to such power. Brutus character is very inflexible sense of honour therefore it was easy for Caesar’s enemies to manipulate him to believe that Caesar must die in order to achieve the republican. 

while the conspirators act out of envy and rivalry, that leaves Brutus truly believes that Caesar’s death will benefit Rome; Brutus is the type of person that can separate his complete public life from him private life unlike Caesar. Brutus gives priority to matters of state, therefore he epitomises Roman vitue, he is torn between his loyalty of Caesar and his allegiance to the state therefore this leaves Brutus the tragic hero of the play.

Brutus for my scene;

Name; Brutus 

Age; 25

Placed;  In old Rome somewhere outsides, I imagine with a bench or somewhere to sit. 

Personality; during my scene i play Brutus as a strong mind set and only wants one thing, therefore this leave her impassion quite offend with a tone to the voice when doing so; the reason why i have given my Brutus a strong mind set as i’ve had to transfer Brutus into a women, i gave her a background to her life. This was that as child she got bullied for wanting to be part of government and lead as it was unseal to see in Rome at the time it set. As she grow up she learnt that you had to be strong person not to take notice of what others said therefor eloping feelings towards things to work her way up. 

Body langues; Ive put in tension in to my draw off the mouth to create the look on impassion, i’ve also made her the type of character to alway be quick on the feet therefore she has learnt to stand tall and shoulders back, a type of character that you might see something like this in today society would be a politician. If to look at films you could see some of the body language of Jennifer Lawrence when in the hunger games .

This picture shows the type of tension in the draw and the type of strong minded with the body language with how she stood.
