     In Shakespeare's JULIUS CAESAR, we see a                     of men who resort to violence and who are blinded by their cause.  Shakespeare's play is alluded to indirectly in the poem's title and specifically in lines 72 to 90.  Brutus, a leading Roman citizen, is approached by Cassius who is gathering a group to assassinate Julius Caesar, the head of the Roman state.   Cassius is motivated by ambition, envy, and personal malice.  But he persuades Brutus that Caesar is, himself, an ambitious tyrant who will destroy the tradition of Roman republicanism.  Cassius plays upon Brutus's vanity, his self-importance as the head of a leading Roman family, famed for its championing of the public good, and upon his sense of personal honour, which blinds him to the possibility that the plot is evil.   In the dramatic action,  Brutus, the man who would lay claim to the highest motives, is shown up as the hollowest of them all, the most deceived and self-deceiving.
