Brutus allows himself to be cajoled into joining a group of conspiring senators because of a growing suspicion—implanted by Gaius Cassius—that Caesar intends to turn republican Rome into a monarchy under his own rule. Traditional readings of the play maintain that Cassius and the other conspirators are motivated largely by envy and ambition whereas Brutus is motivated by the demands of honor and patriotism; other commentators such as Isaac Asimov suggest that the text shows Brutus is no less moved by envy and flattery. One of the central strengths of the play is that it resists categorizing its characters as either simple heroes or villains. The early scenes deal mainly with Brutus' arguments with Cassius and his struggle with his own conscience. The growing tide of public support soon turns Brutus against Caesar more.....

This is achieved by an examination of the aristocratic Marchmain family as seen by the narrator Charles Ryder. Time Magazine included Brideshead Revisited in its list of "All-time 100 Novels". In various letters Waugh himself refers to the novel a number of times as his magnum opus; however in 1950 he wrote to Graham Greene saying "I re-read Brideshead Revisited and was appalled."
