Quote by William Shakespeare

For Brutus is an honourable man So are they all, all honourable men.

For Brutus is an honourable man So are they all, all honoura

Summary

This quote is from Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar. It is spoken by Antony after Brutus justifies the assassination of Caesar for the sake of honor and the benefit of the Roman Republic. Antony's statement is ironic and serves as a veiled criticism of Brutus and the other conspirators. He suggests that although they claim to be honorable men, their actions of deceit and murder prove otherwise. Antony uses this line to subtly cast doubt on their true intentions and to stir emotions among the crowd in order to challenge their support for the assassins.
