/lit/ - Literature

This is more of a /hist/ thread but I'm curious what /lit/ hast to say: how do you see Marcus Junius Brutus?

Cicero called him one of the finest orators and best citizens that Rome had. Shakespeare depicted him as an honorable man who got tricked into something he didn't really want to do and only acted for the good of Rome. Voltaire showed him as fighter for freedom who eventually decided to put his love for freedom over his love for his fatherly friend Caesar.

Dante on the other side thought of him as the worst kind of traitor and puts him in Inferno in the same circle of hell with Judas.

The list goes on and on, so what do you think? Brave assassin who put duty over personal feelings or ruthless traitor?
