Question

"Et tu, Brute?" [And you, Brutus?] Is this quotation a reliable source for historians to use if they are writing about the death of Julius Caesar? Explain your answer in 2-3 sentences.

Answer 1

No, this is not an accurate source. Shakespeare lived long after Caesar and could not have witnessed the event or talked to anyone who was present.

Answer 2

The quote "Et Tu, Brute?" [And you, Brutus?] is not a reliable source for historians to use if they are writing about the death of Julius Caesar.

• This is because such a quotation does not explicitly explain or describe why Julius Caeser made that statement.
• Such a statement could mean another thing in another context.
• For example, it could mean a warning like " and you Brutus, those betrayals are coming for you."

Hence in this case it is concluded that the correct answer is that such a statement or quotation " is not a reliable source for historians to use if they are writing about the death of Julius Caesar."
