Explaining Brutus's Solilquy

A hasty generalization is a misconception in which an assumption is not understandably justified by sufficient or unbiased evidence. An oversimplified explanation is to over think the thoughts that are popping up in your head. In Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, Brutus's soliloquy there was many throughout the lines.

In the text Julius Caesar, Brutus uses the words "the abuse of greatness" by which he is talking about Caesar becoming ruler. Those words are an example of an oversimplified explanation because Brutus is thinking and thinking about what Caesar will do if he becomes king. He is going over and over in his head that he is letting his imagination run wild. Since he thinks Caesar will abuse his power as king, this line sets the rest of his soliloquy up for unbiased opinion of the self-conscious playing mind games with him.

In the text Julius Caesar, Brutus uses the words "but tis a common proof, that lowliness is young ambitions ladder, where to the climber-upward turns his face" through which he is basing his words and thoughts on who Caesar is around (the group of people he is associated with). Brutus was basing his reason for his opinions on hasty generalizations especially in the quote stated above. So because he uses this generalization he believes Caesar will not make a great leader.

In the play there were many examples of hasty generalizations and oversimplified explanations but some were easy to explain than others. In some of the words used in the soliloquy Brutus seems to just be saying things that justify or give a good reason on why to get rid of Caesar. Brutus's soliloquy seems to show lots of jealousy and rage against Caesar because of how the whole kingdom was ready for him to become ruler.
